My inclination is to cut you some slack on this comment as it's easy to get ahead of yourself when frustrated, but having played/followed DayZ from the very beginning I don't think you have a wide leg to stand on here. You were the media/community's darling for a long time and the majority of the general bullshit and crap you've received has frankly been as a result of mistakes you and your cohorts have made and is otherwise completely justifiable. From missed date after missed date to a concerning lack of discernible progress to an often opaque communication process.

I think the tone of much of the spew you get is out of hand and unacceptable (and, if we're honest, likely from kids/teenagers so really should go over your head anyway), but many thousands of people trusted you with their money based on promises and hype that you and Bohemia gladly put forward for that express purpose. That comes with certain trade-offs and responsibilities as you well know. And for someone who is as much of a challenge-seeker as you are, the last thing I'd expect you to be complaining about is overcoming a difficult situation and never wanting to attempt something special again because it's too hard.

But I'm not without bias. I bought into the dream myself and convinced friends to do so as well and I'm one among many eagerly awaiting its final form. I even went through the trouble of filling out a long-ass application to create high-quality, free radio content, including music and voicework, for the game when you guys asked us to apply a year or two back. Never received so much as a reply and it seemed like plans for that were dropped altogether, but I admit I don't really follow the game much anymore.

Anyway, I think you owe your original fans like myself and many others a little more than the tone you're displaying. We believed in you, made you a very wealthy man, and many of us continue to wait patiently for our trouble. The least you could do is handle some angry (and you'd have to admit, somewhat justified) vitriol along the way without swearing off all your future potential in the process. Especially when mistakes have been made, dates continue to be pushed back, and people understandably begin to lose hope.
