I recently watched an amazing documentary called Indie Game on NetFlix and it really gives you a real world perspective of soloist/duo’s hectic life while they slave years of their lives building games, this is no different then what Jon has done IMHO. Though going Rogue like Allan Odgaard would not be ideal, but give Jon some slack, for all we know he’s slaving on ST3 or taking a much needed break before getting knee deep back into ST.
On a positive note Jon has not given us any false promises, though silence or get it when it’s done can be frustrating it will never save face and false promises only lead to infuriated customers. So with that said enjoy ST2 as it’s an amazing piece of software.
