[QUOTE="evilref, post: 4433996, member: 73517"] I'm glad you brought up the computer gaming industry because in general it's a good analogy here. Your use in this post is flawed however. Wizards hasn't released anything with promised features that people have paid money for and then waited for those features to be patched in. Wizards have said 'we will be doing X', they're still doing X, X is not out yet. You haven't paid for X, the timeline for X has been continually communicated to people waiting for X and expectations for X have been managed throughout the process. You mean like all the updates that happened about the progress of DDI. They may have gotten briefer around the time of the launch, however I ceretainly knew that we weren't having the game table at launch. And I knew because wizards said so. And, perhaps I missed it, but certainly I didn't see anything in the three months leading up to 4e's launch saying 'Game Table will be there at launch'. It is good customer relations. And they did it. There have been numerous messages about the DDI. Whether that amount of communication is good enough for you is another matter, but this is an industry that enjoys an almost unprecedented level of communication between creators and consumers.
