RE: Haskings has some concerning issues. Here are my thoughts

This isn't about patience. I think in general the community, myself included has been very, very patient. Delays are expected but stringing people along and not being 100% upfront at the beginning (I found out some info yesterday that was not disclosed to members and absolutely would have effected my purchasing decision) is a major issue.

For instance it would have been good to know that HK is being treated like a hobby and not a business before making purchases. That in itself is not necessarily a problem but is information that should have been disclosed from the get go. Dan has often used the fact that he is working (a day job) as an excuse for not getting things done. If he is that busy why not hire another developer to fulfill purchases customers made months ago? It's not like this is a free game. The whole "I gotta work" thing is invalid after people have paid hk already.

As a freelancer I have learned to juggle multiple jobs/ assignments at once and never once used one job as an excuse to not finish a different assignment. If there are delays or I am late in delivering I do everything I can to make it right and take full responsibility if I screw up. I don't blame my other workloads because it is my responsibility to deliver as promised on time. If I overbooked or am too "busy" that is 100% on me, not the client.

I am not expecting perfection nor did I imply that. Everyone makes mistakes and at lest one person on the AL gaming side (that I personally corresponded with)admitted to all of what I said and are actively working on fixing it.This is fantastic and I look forward to seeing more progress.

"In my opinion, this setback generates union and empathy to recognize failures that help improve the project."

I hope so. I really hope this is a learning experience that benefits the community. Time will tell.

This post , even though some may disagree with my opinions, has implemented changes for the better and validated many people who felt and were abandoned. That is progress.
