And for the ones saying we shouldn't be upset because we aren't paying. Let's look at this in another example:
Your favorite band is giving a free concert that is 2 hours away from your house. It is suppose to start at 8pm EST.
So you leave nice and early to get there in time. At 11pm the band still has not gotten on the stage yet. Not a word from anyone. People start saying I guess they are not going on yet.
It is now 12pm and still not even an announcement so people just start to leave and assume the band isn't going to play.
You get home at 2am EST and look online to see a post from the band at 1:30am that says, sorry guys, we were tired........
So, would you be pissed in this situation or just be like? I sure plenty of you would....... |
bad analogy for a variety of reasons though. Beyond the fact that this isn't a band and it is a group of people with individual lives, in some respects, they really don't even have to publicly release an unlocker at all. Life happens all the time. They aren't required to give anyone an ETA just because someone gave a DONATION.
And if you are (or trying to become a chef/application designer/developer) this doesn't bother you in the slightest because things like this happen ALL THE TIME. Stuff gets pushed back. Who cares? This isn't a concert, this isn't a band that gets royalties and pay from a corporation, it is for all intents and purposes a group that is willing to SHARE their contribution to the community when in many ways they don't have to.
I'll say it one more time. I don't really care if hspl is released today, tomorrow, or the day after that or even months after that. I'm happy with my stock, happy creating roms and testing them in an emulated environment. That's good enough for me.
Give the developers a break, stuff happens all the time. And yeah I know you don't like it, but hey be patient - not like at a free concert when its cancelled you're SOL. We know its coming, we just don't know when. So the phrase
its done when its done
perfectly applies
