Well... that worked, I suppose. :p
I don't feel particularly accomplished or proud or anything of that nature for having poked the fire a little and got some response, but... I think it needed saying. These threads are a bit of a train wreck, so an update to the top posts is *highly* appreciated, even if it's just another date, another "yep, it's still cookin'."
I absolutely get that the people involved really can't say much of anything. I mean... that's sort of the whole point of this, I suppose, trying to be 'in line' with NCSoft's wishes on how to negotiate or discuss.
But *surely* even NCSoft, as much as we 'know' about them, couldn't be THAT uptight about a teensy little update. It's not like we didn't know that the negotiations are even a thing. All that's needed is a "Update <whatever day it is>: It's still goin' on. Really."
A bot, though, would just be disingenuous, but thanks for the suggestion there...
Anyway, the ongoing efforts are appreciated, but man... I know enough about business, software coding, agreements, etc. and all that to be wondering what the REAL hang up is here... I ain't kidding, I can't even imagine why the drag on this...
Ok, standing by as directed... but let it not be so long next time", mmkay? Thaaanks!" - Bill Lundbergh, Office Space
