I didn't name anyone responsible, that was you Softs...(sorry that may be embarrassing for you, but I did suggest we take the discussion off-forum).
Nah, not embarrassing at all, actually. I can glean enough about who your comments were directed at from most of your other posts in other threads. Either way, though, pointing at the developers and declaring "laziness" is simply a crass personal attack against folks who had little to do with those decisions (but very likely put a lot of sweat and soul into the work they were responsible for) with nothing to back it up regardless of whose developers were the target.
I mean, surely if you know as much about project management as you say you know where the lines between project management and budgeting are drawn, right?
We're consumers, but we have less rights for e-content than any other product. Notwithstanding your profession, or your understanding of the problems involved in programming, if a company takes on a project in the manner you suggest, then part and parcel will be to take on complaints regarding problems dating from the original project. However, we are both in agreement in relation to your final statement, which was my point in relation to our second series of posts.
Less rights than other products? No. You'll see exactly the same conversations about bugs in any public forum from lawnmowers (my parents currently own a brand new lawnmower with a defect that probably will not be fixed by the manufacturer) to dishwashing detergent. The only thing that makes software different is the number of variables involved. It makes it difficult to set hard guidelines and legal precedents. There is simply too much interaction between too many moving parts...many of which were created by separate parties.
But, and I don't mean to shatter dreams here, but if issues weren't fixed in F3, I doubt they will be fixed in FNV, based on our discussion here...
This is probably true.
