[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 4683404, member: 5265"] So a product was promised on 6 June, 2008, and delivered, in its full version, on 27 January 2009. That's seven months and 21 days late, assuming you give no credit for any pre-final version. So I guess I "revised and spun" by three weeks. Sorry. [For all of you who keep posting that the CB was "a year" late, feel free to check my math. Maybe I've counted the months incorrectly?] And I'm sorry to have pissed in your cornflakes, too, but I apparently didn't make my point very clearly. Let me try again: If your standard for "deliver on promised software" means the product release must meet the date set at the initial announcement, then nothing WotC currently has in the works (that we know of) can possibly meet this standard. So the benefit of doubt cannot be extended to WotC until some [I]new[/I] future software is announced and delivered perfectly on time and perfectly according to the announced specs, no matter how good their releases are and how well they stick to any future timeline announcements concerning the Visualizer, Game Table, and related bits. I simply suggest that maybe this is too high a standard (certainly one very few software producers, of any stripe, have managed to reach); and that instead, you could look at the software they have produced, and the information they are currently providing, and work from that. You may not be happy with WotC's output to date--fair enough. But regardless, I don't think the point I'm trying to make warrants quite so much vitriol. [/QUOTE]
