So this is your whole point? That the devs didn\'t make a game that immediately works? Any you\'d vote to change that, I presume...
Well, the entire thing is a bad idea, because the devs are not our slaves. They do it in their spare time, for free and are nice enough to let you have it for free. None of us has _any_ right to make the devs do anything. If they do, fine, if not, tough. That\'s it. Just because PS is \"free and open\" doesn\'t give you
any power to influence it
unless you yourself join the dev team and actually contribute some hard work. All we can (and should be able to) do is to make proposals that the devs can use or ignore or change at their sole discretion.
So if there is a \"vote\" we are going to take, the things being voted on need to be what the devs want and not what we want, if these things differ.
Therefore, the wishlist forum is way better IMO, because it allows for discussion and reasoning, which a vote does not.
I hope the devs will never ever let us decide they need to do stuff that they don\'t really want to do, because then there would be no real incentive for them to continue, because they don\'t get anything off it anymore. These things are left to commercial games where the devs are paid and therefore don\'t really care if they are developing an MMORPG or a tax calculation program.
But you\'re in good company there, because many ppl. think that the GPL is taking away their rights to steal the work of others or gives them the right to make others do what they want.
The devs don\'t work for you.
The devs are not obliged to give you anything.
If you want something that they don\'t want, do it yourself or pay someone to do it.
If you want to steal their work, die.
Sorry, I
hate this attitude.
