I don't fully agree with this. Some others will do the same, others have more integrity. One example is when Fallout tactics was created. People like Chris Taylor visited, not only the Interplay forums but also those on NMA and DAC on a daily basis, giving updates on progress, asking for feedback on ideas they had been toying around with, giving us first crack at the demo, etc. They got a lot of critique too but they stuck with it, trying to convince us that what they were thinking off was good and changing their minds if we came up with good suggestions. A lot of what we suggested never made into the game but we also did manage to convince them to change a lot. Those developers knew that we were around these games as long or longer then some of them and looked to us for input. Ultimately they could still do with it what they wanted but they knew we had a right to speak out because we have shown over the past that we did a lot of things like making mods and so on, so they knew we had a good understanding of the setting. But now, Chuky boy (Chuck Cuevas) has posted on the NMA forum about 3 times. When Christ Taylor had posted a lot more in roughly the same time from the beginning of development. And when Chuck posted something, he didn't gave any info, just some wisecrack remarks scoffing the fans. The Fallout community is one of the most 'vocal' and highly critical communities out there. The developers need to realise that.
