why are we talking about the same damn thing again?
to be honnest i lost faith in there being any major gameplay changes in esf 1.3 after all the negative bull**** that everyone came back with due to 1.2. There's no way I would work on something for hours and hours and then, when released get slagged of by my own community because some people cant handle the changes. I think thats enough for anyone to not give a **** about improving their work, if i was joe i probably would have quit then. No matter what they change not everyone will like the changes. Imo after reading the thread with the convo between shin carl and joe, It was pretty much clear that joe doesnt find esf interesting anymore, and its completely up to him how he decides to work on it, if you were countlessly having requests, and demands, you'd get ****ing pissed off too, and you'd ignore all of them after a while, trust me, you start to think the only reason people think you exist is to be their ****ing monkey wrench. I think he is pleased with his creation as it is now, and good on him, he decides whether or not his work is done, not you, not the queen, not the ****ing pope or the president. Bottom line is, if he doesnt want to change it, i completely sympathise.
People need to understand this is people doing this for fun and enjoyment, when the fun is gone, why are they doing it? and why should they care?
