How can we ever foster a better attitude towards this game when we have so many that are being neglected, when we have so little (believable) information as to what is happening, when there are so many doubts by so many that they will ever even see anything from this?
You make a fine point, friend. Indeed, after I receive my product, I will never do business with this company again. No matter how much I love the franchise and whatever feelings I may have towards the product, I will always remember how horribly mismanaged this whole affair has been. I am out $600USD that I could desperately use to pay medical bills, right now (I hope things arrive before too much longer; won't bore you all with personal details) but I cannot even sell my pledge without the consent of people hellbent on keeping as much money as possible. I don't give a flying rat's rump when they're putting out the APC, or what the next little project is, or how many extra little goodies they want to produce within the next few months and sell before I get to even see the minis in-person.
There should be less focus on the "next wave" and more focus on the stagnant cesspool they've cultivated by neglecting their customers. The idea of not providing the items/services being sold before holding out hands for more money confuses me to no end, and I come from the US, where money is handed out like candy to those who do nothing to earn/deserve it and those who try to make an honest living can't afford to keep food on the table.
TL;DR: Still waiting on the first ripple, so don't care about the next wave.
