It made peoples' hopes up out of an ignorant statement. the rest of the team has more of a handle on it.
note: ignorance isn't stupidity. It is a lack of knowledge. Not the ability to retain it.

Oh, and...look at that, we released it on Wednesday (our time, not Euro time).

Don't listen to that one guy, I really liked that last Q&A with you.
Thanks for keeping us updated. I know that you guys don't intend to harm us by delaying patching, but to protect us from all the mean bugs.

It's so cool, due to all the hugh+ work been done, that we KNOW who Obraxis is, IronHorse etc etc ... makes that 8hr 20 min play test all that more relevant.

We work directly with the devs, so yes, we do know. Communication is vital for a game that has an international QA group. So we tend to be more in the know than most QA groups in the industry. We have 2 main QA groups from North America and Europe, with some Australians and others thrown in which allows us to cover UWE office hours and beyond completely.
Oh, and I'm the PT Lead. So I need to know these things as part of my job. :)

Whoa whoa whoa. Cory! Can UWE pleeeaaase drive a zero-resonance-to-trolls policy? Seriously, if you answer to people like this, but rarely to people that can voice their opinion with some thoughts and manners, what do you think you are educating your fan-base? "Just cry loud enough and be mean enough and you will get an answer from the devs!" That is not what you want. Ignore such people completely and answer to the ones, that have some manners. That will at least educate a small part of the trolls.

I hope it's not the last time you do a Q&A but I would understand and easily accept why you may choose to do that. Although I'm not an Artist ( I have very little talent, or tools to do any good art ). I do however very much enjoy listening to you discuss Art and various other topics and hope you continue after 1.0! :)

I hope to see more of you on the Q&A as I really enjoy them, people like these are truly ignorant in that they dosnt understand the process you guys go thru before releasing a patch, they just think that everything will magiclly work the first try.

Super impressed with how smooth 224 'feels' so far, looking forward to testing more after some sleep!
The Q&As was great and hope they'll continue after 1.0.
Hardcore, thats impressive dedication!
