Ok, So here is the story. I was browsing theres forums for the last few months and trying to keep up to speed with the tyre physics progress report and the VWS ect.
Now just a few things to say before I start with my views.
-I am not a 'fanboy'.
-I am human also.
-I am entilted to my opnion as are you.
-Just because i do not have a big post count does not make my opnion less important and I plan on being more active on the forums now.
-This is not a thread that is to be flamed.
-Release dates of the VWS and physics or talk of them are not to be said please.
-The reason I am doin this is beacuse of my feelings of some of the things that have been said here.
-We are ALL equal .
Now I have been playing LFS for almost 1 year now, I think its a fantastic game although it has some downside but so does every game. I respect the developers greatly for making a fantastic game and its a pleasure to be able to play it. With the news of the new tyre physics model to be introduced along with the VWS and rockingham I was greatly excited because I am more of a SIM racer and the closer to realism the better IMO.
As I kept an eye here to see if there would be any more word on a date and updates from Scawen the comments started rolling in on the threads. People kept asking for more info on what was going on and kept pestering him for an answer when he clearly didn't know because of the scale of the project after all this is ONE man not a machine.
As time when on the comments turned into threats with people saying 'I'm leaving LFS' if this is not done by xxxx, that clearly was not going to do any good and just made the thread full of information that wasn't needed as it only provoked responses that were also not needed. Then it turned into an argument for about 40 pages and counting. It is of not benefit of anyone reading the thread and there is no need for such childish behavior and from what I can see there's too many keyboard gangsters getting involved. Then the abuse turned to the dev's for not having it out Scawen seemed to take the brunt of the attack which was not fair or to anyone else for that matter. As he says in his posts he IS working on LFS and its not dead!, if you take the time to read his posts he says that working on lfs is not 'fun' for him anymore and to me in his posts he speaks as if his spirit is broken and he just is not enjoying LFS like he did before and all the comments that have no substnce and are just out to make someone feel bad are a disgrace!:grumpy:
There is no respect for the devs from most people they do an amazing job but just because you do not see it does not mean that it's not going on, I know if I go to do something I like to do it right and it seems that Scawen also feels this way, sure maybe it is a long wait but you had to wait until you were born. I could bet that if he releases it the way it is not 100% right people will throw that back in his face also because they will say that he didn't do a good enough job on it so he's damed if he does and damed if he doesn't.
Put yourself in there shoes you work all the time on a project you get no thanks for how would you feel? Treat as you would like to be treated!
So please think about this before you dish it out as I say don't let this turn into one of 'those' threads again
Thats my 2 cents
