Flaming
Henry,
Ah, it's not little bugs, or even major screwups. If you have been
listening to the complaints (and yes, complaints and flames are more common,
as when buy something, you _expect_ it to work, and heaven help the people
responsible if it doesn't) the largest, most searing flames have been from
people that got bitten by it. Jet, for example, promised analog joystick, and
thrills a minute. It didn't fully deliver. The first one wouldn't run with
fast ram, and the joystick interface got pulled, it was so bad. I had
_major_ bugs in it; not just bugs, but _major_ ones. That's the difference,
Henry. You can forgive someone releasing something unfit for sale IF they
fix it right away and don't promise the Moon, while giving you _a_ moon. The
flames you see are from those that exhausted the 'polite' methods, or have
been screwed seriously. The petty flames are from those who have got
something that works, but want better (and are usually knowlegable enough to
know what _could_ be done) Witness the Interceptor peeves about analog
support. (and if a certain mesage contains anything remotely resembling the
truth, those complaints should turn around _reet_ quick.) Most of the
loudest complaints have been from people that _could_ have put it in the
software. (Personal feelings: The digital is _very_ good, but the analog
stick done right…Heaven!)
