I don't think anything is going wrong. There are several things being worked on by many dedicated people, and some of the progress is being posted here. I am just glad that these people that will someday give us back a game as close to CoH as possible, if not the City itself. Remember, the Microsoft organization started in a garage and we were not privy to every phase of its development.
actually for the people that invested in it originally was actually very privy just about every single detail about what was going on from plan to plan for product to development of the OS and more.
It started to get less privy when they grew way beyond garage and into public traded company, which then still is privy due to required financial sheets and reports on product sales and etc.
I suspect that if Mr. Gates took the money, then just answered "soon" to any of his investor's questions and completely left them out of the loop, they probably would have been highly upset and Miscrosoft would not have went anywhere.
Besides, aint we supposed to be treating the customer and the people better than corporations? If we are going to compare to every coporation with every issue or some other company then what is the point of this project even existing if they are going to do what corporations do anyways just because "that is how corporations do it and no one is privy with them" stuff. Might as well hang it up then because then the communication will be no better than NCSOFT's statement of "we are closing the game due to realignment."
but they are not Amazon, they are not Google, they are not Microsoft, they are not Cryptic, they are not Blizzard. They are Missing Worlds Media. So saying "Amazon do it this way." Mcirosoft was like this" "google only speaks this such and such much" is irrelevant because I'm not looking forward right now to invest or get behind a project of theirs. I'm looking to get behind a MWM project and see what new, keyword NEW they can bring to the way business interact with customers. If they are going to do the same thing as companies already do with communication, then what is the point. I might as well just go invest in Microsoft. No that aint right, I already have on a small scale. Might as well go invest in Google.
