Many stories have been told of the same kind, but it's a story we love to hear when it's well told, and DaD is a good rendition. If a game makes buy Dark And Darker Gold you respect even skeleton warriors, bats, and goblins as dangerous, then the forces above them seem much more powerful and threatening. Many fantasy games make the same enemies little more than fodder, even big bad guys are just a pedestal. But not DaD.

All the legal drama aside (especially with the resident "experts" who say ridiculous shit for lawyers if you know even cursory things about litigation, but I digress) the community, besides its most brain-damaged parts, has been patient and waiting. I am not demanding the game release, nor do I think I am entitled to it for free or anything like that- BUT as a loyal fan I do think I am entitled to not have my time wasted. Saying, "They can't say anything!" isn't true, you don't know law either, stop acting whoever you are as if you do. Early Access was supposed to be in early May as we all know- and as we all know EA was delayed- but it was only delayed, "a bit".

More than 3 weeks later going into June is, at this point, more than a bit. I don't think its controversial to say that fans are entitled to not be stringed along by Ironmace because part of the reason Darker Gold we give IM so much deference and appreciation is.
