Message: <blockquote data-quote="kengar" data-source="post: 224696" data-attributes="member: 3230">I have been following NWN's development for three years and the problem I have is that:1) They said simultaneous release from Day 1 and continued to say so up to the Gold announcement. As of Wed., their FAQ still lists it as a "one box" release. No communication or HINT of this from BioWare until the press release; and then Mac folks had to ask them (repeatedly) "What's up with Mac? We see how you scr*wed over the Linux folks."2) The toolset issue was brought up several months ago, but originally the plan was a toolset on every version. They dropped the ball and messed up in how the wrote the toolkit. They 'fessed up and Mac/Linux folks said "Rats!" but we dealt because we were told the deal! Just like the BeOS folks were told "Sorry! No BeOS version like we originally hoped for!" People were sad, but they coped.Since I originally posted, I wrote to MacSoft and got an actual response from their Product Manager, Al Schilling. It was mostly PR MarketSpeak, but he did agree with my concerns and seems to be taking an active interest in the BioWare forums. He is making the effort to keep us -the potential users/customers- in the loop. For that, I applaud him. What the result will be in terms of the product, we will have to wait & see.Ah well, I wouldn't pay too much attention to me. I was pretty upset and I guess I still am.</blockquote>
