[QUOTE="Psy-Q, post: 253538, member: 6132"] I'm sorry if it sounded offensive, I just couldn't think of a good way to express what I mean. I do very much care about the philosophy and the actions of a company before I buy from them. That's why I don't buy from Amazon for example, because of their tax evasion and the dirty tricks they pull so they can treat their logistics employees like cattle in Germany. I'm not exaggerating much for dramatic effect, they have gone on strike over this several times. But Amazon is just an example. It's noticeable that something is weighing Farsight down in some way, but looking at the friendly people in the pics it wasn't obvious. Thanks for the explanation, EldarOfSuburbia, so it really is just that they stretch themselves too thin. So they focus everything on in-game experience and porting cross-platform and then don't have enough resources to polish the rest. It can also seem to be laziness, but that made no sense to me as it wouldn't gel with the amount of platforms they support and how good in-game is. I didn't know they released with such a frequency and I wonder why they have to, but I guess it's like you say, that's intimately tied to their business model. Thanks everyone for the information. I just bought season pack one and I'm sure I'll be happy as it has some of my favorite tables. Also bought most of Zen's stuff since there's a sale -- I like both game styles and I'm aware they don't compare. Sorry that I couldn't express the kind of multiple personality vibe I get from Farsight without offending. [/QUOTE]
