No worries and I'm sorry if I was dismissive of your reply, it's easy to get tired of people jumping in to defend the devs...which is cool, but then fail to produce any receipts to make up their defense. At which point it's not a debate or even a discussion...it's individuals grasping to try and shoot others down.
However I appreciate what you say and I think I too misunderstood the intent behind your reply. I totally agree with what you're saying and I don't think he made his statement as a means to try and pull the wool over our eyes. I simply think there's not much he can say or do at this time but felt he had to say at least something....which I understand. As I say my only issue is with some of the misleading content in his statement, which is only fueling people to shoot down those who are simply saying "Hey you know those missing genders?....they'd be cool to have sometime".
Yay understanding. Tho seriously after rerereading I get where you're coming from honestly, Sadly I think alot of the lingo in the post can come off as >.> eyes as he didn't really directly say no or yes. It was a PR statement as you say to cover his butt so they can lean either way. Which would be fine but all the drama and emotions people have make it into the shout fest it's been on various sites. And sadly the only way I can see everyone being relaxed is if he were to go - buck it- and spill all the beans which would end his career for sure. Corp. is a dirty buisness for sure.
A few friends and I were talking about the producer letter recently. They’re in the female hrothgar camp, and they do feel that the letter was the nail in the coffin. As such, they’ve suspended their subscriptions to the game until full implementation of the genders. It is sad, but I’ve also considered doing the same.
I take the letter as this "It's on the table" it is not a yes but it is not a no either which is actually a better outcome than i thought as i didn't expect to hear something like this till 5.1, the fact he used far more assertive language with regards to having child like characters playable within the same letter shows there is a least a potential to see the other genders being added (I just hope not in the same way as egi-glamours).
With that said i hope that if you suspend your sub as well that you and your friends will eventually come back with being able to play as the race/gender combo you want to play as
they're not saying no because they're doing it but saving it for later. either "look guys, we listened!" or it's just something they're saving as a selling point for 6.0 or whatever in the future.
You can tell in the letter that its not a straight up no or never like you can with the "playable children" section.
I myself I am studying marketing, and as such I think this letter is to get people to 'forgive' them for not finishing the new races yet. That is due to the fact that not tonly did he use this to talk about glasses, but also he didn't really give a response to anything other than children erp. I think he did that mostly because he is trying to save the response for when the other genders come out so he can say: :Hey people! It was super tough to implement them but now in 6.0 you'll be able to play as male Viera and female hrotgar' which is a trick to gain more praise and good press for doing this
