I think you quoted the wrong person.
Anyways........ the path to success would be to recapture what they had, anything else is going to be met with dissatisfying the niche audience that this project was centered on and not bring in new players because there are other games that are actually released and popular.
Trying to serve everyone will mean no one is satisfied. If they cannot do that then officially announce a completely new direction and start over with a new project giving current backers some closure at least and perhaps an apology of some sort, or close it out entirely for the sake of closure.
If they were able to show off at least the same caliber of content they had under Brad that would be something to hang a hat on. Even if it was a totally different vision. But if the first attempt took 10 years and we're effectively scrapping all that came before, I think it's outrageous to assume people will wait another 10 years.

And to be fair, I didn't say anyone in particular either. Just way too much doom and gloom.
chenzeme said: Criticism has been valid. But going over and over the same arguments is just ridiculous. People don't like graphics, 247, extraction, models, direction change, development time, radio silence, lack of output, etc., etc. How many ways can people say the same things?
How many times do you want people to come up with ideas that would improve things that have an almost but not quite zero chance of being used? You're poo poo'ing people venting their frustration and highlighting of problems that have yet to be addressed or fixed in any way for a passive 'lets just think happy thoughts' approach. Everything people wanted was laid out 10 years ago and has been gone over and talked about since then, if anything is tiresome it's that because it's answering questions that have already been answered ad nauseum.
People are mad, and it's going to be that way until they see something that is an improvement. Otherwise, they will abandon the forms entirely because the only thing that's "permitted" is hardcore on topic discussion and positive thoughts.

Like this conversation, tbh.

The original topic was about constructive conversation. I think it is time to return to that. Don't you?

While I fully understand that negativity tends to dominate current discussions, and that these conversations can sometimes draw unwarranted criticism, I'm here with a sincere commitment to fostering a constructive conversation.

Omg! Drivel and more drivel. Seriously, if you hate the game so much and where it is, why are you constantly posting about it?
It isn't Pantheon that should shut down.
You are entitled to your views but to constantly going on and on is just awful.

Dancing emotes would really make it appeal to a wider audience.
I think we could fund the game if they had the flossing emote specifically. Also dabbing, I would bet a wide audience would appreciate dabbing in game.
