On the surface that seems like solid advice, but we're not keen to start going back on our word just when things get rough. The charity micro-expansion has been a boost to us in terms of visibility and press, so it's not like it's completely selfless at this stage, if that makes those worried about this feel any better. But even if that wasn't true, we wouldn't want to cut this off, as we deliver on what we promise and we're not about to start taking money promised to sick kids just to help ourselves. I'd rather go out of business.
This right here justified my support of you guys. I wish more businesses were like this, I just got screwed by another software company, demanding $$ for an "2.0 upgrade" and I heaved into them hard for forcing an upgrade down my throat which was nothing but UI changes and improved connectivity to other software. Both of which were unimportant to the base program. That was not 2.0 quality, it was more like 1.5 quality. Yet, they seriously want to charge me $15 for all that. And all you guys do is charge $3.99 for an expansion that was omgwtfpwn awesome and certainly worth more than $3.99.
Bummer on Valley Without Wind being put on hold for a while, I'm reallllllllly looking forward to what you guys can do with Tower-Defense games, a genre that could certainly use some fresh, new ideas. (One of my all time favorite genres regardless). On the Tidalis thing, you are right in that you might have put too much into the game. Even my review hardly touched 80% of the content. But its in the past and at the very least, Tidalis can stand on its own for a long time without any changes really put into it. That does give you a lot of breathing room on the Tidalis front to focus on Ai War.
I seriously cried a tear of joy at that statement, (yeah, yeah, I'm a big sissy
) you have no idea how I wish people were more like that. No idea how joyful it makes me that I found a company like yourself that will hold to morals and obligations. Same can't be said for others... I salute you sir. And I only hope for the best from here on out. Thanks for justifying my support into your company. And bring on LotS!!!!!
