But seriously, I do wonder if they ever took the time in the aftermath to really read through our feedback. Was there a sickening 'ah ha' moment when they realized we were telling them what they needed to know? I'd like to think so, since they're now taking the time to do player polls, Q&A's, and respond to our concerns here. Even if people don't like the answers they're getting, they're better than no answers.
yeah.. i don't know, the only thing that makes me think not is that they don't read english and they were too busy dealing with all the pressure to even consider reading the WEALTH of feedback in those beta forums. for all i care all they have to do is read that feedback, they could cut us all off of this forum, and if they acted on the beta feedback they'd have a great game on their hands. yoshida wasn't on the dev team during beta and i think he is the main reason for the reach out to players.
