How many of you have worked as a programmer? or in the video game industry? or the software industry? or in a medium sized business like PD? Or as a subsidiary of a global corp like Sony?
All these cries of incompetence and lack of caring are ignorance. I've worked in 3 of the above scenarios and there are always not enough people available, who have too much work to do and who care deeply about the product. They are then put under more pressure by marketing people with little actual knowledge when they make an announcement giving release dates which are often plucked out of the air or based on old information passed through channels in meetings weeks or months ago. They are also subject to matters largely outside of their control such as licensing and demands from parent company.
You really think Kaz doesn't care? How would you like it if someone criticised or insulted your work in such a way? You really think PD are incompetent? Giving a release date early is the sort of mistake made in this sort of company the world over many many times each day because the humans that work there are fallible. Get a grip. Does video-Kaz berate you for crashing the car they spent many hours crafting because you made a mistake on the track?
The video game industry customer base has a loud opinionated passionate fan base with a means to communicate amongst themselves and put 2 & 2 together to come up with 5 more often than 4.
In my opinion, based on experience, PD should look to improve their communication both to the public and internally - just like every other company in the world should look to improve it. Its just most other companies don't have testosterone laden keyboard warriors dissecting their every world and basing their lives around what they read, ready to give them both barrels when PD dare to not be perfect.

You are wrong. He said that "DLC will be continually added online."
It is marked on the official site, search.
It's not on the official site. I have nothing more to say.
But.
This confirms that you lack arguments to criticize Kazu and PoDi (always the same things : "Zahara" and "monthly DLC").
And honestly, I prefer to laugh. Keep it up!

Perhaps they've missed a month and I've forgotten, but they've actually kept that one if my memory serves.
It wasn't what you or I was expecting, but that is DLC.

Thanks for confirming your bias view.

"..and of course we will be providing new tracks every month by DLC"

What would you do if there was no official website? Say they promised nothing? I don't see why a website is the be all and end all.
Apologies, I missed a word out there, track DLC is what they were promising in this Quantum Leap.

I run a business too, not on the scale of PD, but I do have many important customers that rely on me to get stuff done, or they can't get stuff done. I also have contractual obligations I must meet in terms of response times if I'm to maintain that contract. If Kaz was a customer of mine I would fully expect to be berated if he called me for service, I said I'd be there at 1pm, and I strolled up at 4:30pm without a phone call, or worse, just never showed without a phone call or explanation. This is how things work in the real world, consumers don't make exceptions for really nice guys that try hard but can't live up to their promises. Business graveyards are littered with really nice guys that just couldn't get a grip on their expanding business.
If you can't participate in the discussion without the extensive use of profanites, perhaps you should take you own advice, pick up a broom and start sweeping, it's obviously too overwhelming for you. The rest of us are quite in control.

HOLY 🤬 on a 🤬 stick! Now that's what I call outrage.
You should of heard me when I found out there was no more phototravel locations to be unlocked.
I basically made Michael from Achievement Hunter sound like a saint in comparison.

I'll tell you what;HOLY 🤬 on a 🤬 stick! Now that's what I call outrage.
🤬🤬🤬🤬. 🤬🤬🤬, 🤬🤬. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 because 🤬🤬🤬🤬. 🤬.
In short, I 🤬 give up.
It's the same "argument" because you keep making the same point that PD don't break promises. What else can we use but the evidence it's not true?
I don't criticize "Kazu" and "PoDi" for the fun of it, I criticize them when they do something I perceive to be bad/wrong/whatever adjective. I'm not doing that about the Senna content, if you look back through this thread you'll see I actually defended them and agreed with you on this specific subject.
Which does make the point however that this is therefore the wrong thread for this, so i'll leave it there.

I'm personally hoping that Brands Hatch '8x has the Dingle Dell chicane, rather than the reprofiled right-hander.
And then taking our home-built low-rent touring cars round it.

i agree on FFB 10 and the wish to run them around, but IMHO racing them on anything beside RH is going to be ridiculous, expecialy the 900+hp lotus... if it is in any way like the real thing you would lose it at 200km/h on straight by going full throttle O_o

Changes that to,"I'm looking forward to driving the Ralt F3 on Sports Hards or Comfort Softs at all of my favourite tracks" and you've got a deal!!
