    With the quality of the Trolls and Fanbois of DF, I am sure it will give us more entertainment for at least a couple of months after launch. I am not worried about my Forum Amusement...yet.

    You don't seriously believe this will stop the amusing discussions on these forums, do you?

     

    Oh wait, I'm a Troll, of course. Sorry, I should be saying something like...ehhh...LOLVAPOR? No no, that was last months flavor. Ehhh, how about LOLCRAPGAME?

     

    *smirk* Just for the record, while I'm happy that the launch will finally come, the main concerns that -I- have been talking about have yet to be shown as resolved. So before you jump down my throat telling me how I should eat my words, try to remember what those words actually were.

     

    In other news, see you in the free trial.

    Agreed, will be a nice change for the Euro players, theyre always on the short end of the stick.

    Im sure you can see the irony of disrespecting their attitude by stooping to the same level with your gloating.

    You shouldnt disrespect them, other than your differing stance, you are obviously brethren.

    taking a developer at their word when there is  >1hour of video + >650 screenshots of the actual game plus a contracted distributor and datacentre host is *normal* and *reasonable*.

     

    adhering to the idea that a developer is shady and deceitful because a couple of other games out of the thousands released each year were deceitful is unreasonable and paranoid -- much like the people who still think the moon landing was faked.

     

    they are not comparable.

    Technically this is a launch delay announcement even though its only by a month it still shows you cant totally trust anything Aventurine says, even their “official company commitments”

    Surprisingly I’ve not even got the slightest modicum of excitement even after all these years of waiting, just apathy, but that’s to be expected after so much BS.

    Personally I would not put it past them delaying again.

    But if they don’t it seems we will finally get to see at last what the game is actually like by or before the end of January.
