I don't blame TFP, Ive adapted and modded as necessary to
make it comfortable to me. Example they left the ability to
throw a spear so QOL i can throw the stone spear, yay me.
Also I learned a long time ago by reading posts and watching
the the outcomes. Presentation is the key. But I also learned
that there are contantly going to be opposing views, because
the game has included a more vast genre coverage, and has
generationaly crossed nearly half a century of a player base.
So far I have not come across too many dev teams willing to face
the fire in that way.
Either way I will still hold this game in the realm of games, like
The Matrix was for movies. Maybe the change that Joel wrote about
some time ago will finally happen. He wanted to push the limit,
and so far they have been doing it, and create a new one. Keep on pushing, TFP.
