As I've said, it's opportunity costs. With several hundred outstanding products, why invest the time your limited manpower team has in catering perhaps dozens of would be customers on a glorified homebrew cart?
This feels like a self serving release above all else, something someone at LRG wants, not something being asked for..
The top/first reply to the tweet is a status update on another game. There's zero commentary I can find in any LRG group or reddit on this.
Time was spent on this game versus ensuring others are delivered on time or an actual release folks would want.
I realize my points don't come across to most, but most don't understand business in production and manufacturing. Eating up your opportunity costs is a surefire example of a poorly run business; and yes, some businesses fail upwards as do people.
Doug liking commentary that's self serving is also pedantic, more to the point he blocks anyone/anything overtly critical on all social media. He really shouldn't be the one even attempting to message about his company or product. The fact no one is either pulling him in or replacing him is another example of poorly run business.
If they're big enough to be bought out by one of the largest game distributors to date, they're big enough to have a functioning PR department. And not having a C-suite person posting in official capacity on a backwater board, giving more meaningful updates (in a around about fashion) than actual large communities dedicated to their products and services.
I'm not mad, nor do I really care; I find this stuff fascinating since it is so rare a C-suite person is interacting like this. I love toasting marshmallows over dumpster fire, as it were.
Aside, given LRGs size, they likely banked with a regional level bank (most small to medium businesses do so); has LRG been impacted by the fall of FRB or the downturn of several others
