i find it impossible to believe they have no idea about a release date. the fake ignorance just exacerbates the image of their incompetence and deception.
what would have been actually helpful, would be to inform us of the process. x and x has to happen first, then x, then we can release patch/dlc.
whatever criticism one wants to give FNV, community interaction is not one of them. Avellone and Sawyer (the two lead devs) and Bergman (producer and beth watchdog) all routinely visited the forums and informed the fans of exactly what was going on. they even went the extra mile and explained the reasons for the decisions (about everything from game balance to cut content). even when lonesome road was delayed, Bergman said it was delayed because of forces beyond their control, and also said he wasn't at liberty to speak in depth about it. the community accepted and respected their involvement. and most certainly the accusations now being slung at beth, were never attributed to the FNV team.
community interaction like the FNV team, contrary to what beth thinks, builds the fan base, earns respect, and keeps in community bickering minimal. beth's behavior seems to promote the opposite.
psn is down for today, but only if you weren't signed in before the maintenance started. even then, it seems, some are still able to sign in. it is not connected to DG or the patch. did you not read what Gstaff just said?
