While I haven't been affected in any serious way by any of the bugs
(that I know of), I do feel there's one important point here. Rich
rarely responds to bug reports -- at least that seems to be the
consensus. When he does respond, it's generally a brief, often not very
clear post to the list on the order of "I fixed that -- it should work
now." Most bugs don't get fixed for a long time -- the movement bug was
known for maybe 40 or 50 turns before it got fixed.
I don't doubt that Rich is very busy. I fix code for a living, and
I'm sure that some of these bugs are a real pain in the a** to find.
However, if I may throw some free advice around -- it's bad business to
ignore your customers' complaints. Perhaps Shadow Island Games has so
much business that a few disenchanted players quitting one of their
games doesn't matter to them. I hope that's not the case.
