I know this is the "I want it NOW" generation but SE was in a unique situation remaking this game. 1.0 was a flop but some people still played. they were remaking the game in tandem of patching the failed version they KNEW they were going to scrap. Then they finally came to the point where they had to shut it down while they focused on the final production of the new one (ARR). Had they shut the game down for too long, they would have lost that 1.0 crowd entirely and it would have faded into obscurity. They felt they had enough in the game to be able to release it for play while they continued working towards Yoshi-P's vision for the game. Yoshi-P has said in previous Letters that it will probably take at least a year after relaunch to get the game in the state he wants it.

Making a game like this takes at least 5-8 years normally. This team has gotten here in 2 with divided focus. I would like to see the complainers do better.
