It falls very much in line with what @wincenworks as well as the rest of the forum staff have said, including a lot of members. But it’s nice to see IO tackle this subject, I don’t think it will change the perception of those who jumped the gun, for them the damage have already been done. Hopefully IO will learn and grow from this experience.
We also live in a time where game developers and publishers have to tread very carefully when dealing with reception.
Anyhow thanks for the article, then I got some bed time reading.
