  1. I love TLD. I've played the Survival mode in dozens of ways, for thousands of hours. I love watching TLD played by others. It's a game that allows for play as varied as the players themselves.I am sad to say after thinking and thinking about the last Dev Diary, I feel punished.I feel TLD players are being punished for being disappointed that Hinterland deadlines were not met. So... Now we won't be given dates for upcoming updates.This actually further punishes us and inflict their own self punishment. No announced deadlines/updates? So no incentive to complete tasks by a certain date. No, we absolutely need to get this done! Instead, players don't know, so big deal, we can stop their complaining . No consequences for us.What withholding of upcoming content dates also does is, it prevents players from having the anticipation of an actual scheduled update. Prevents the excitement from building and of course the wonderful speculation, hoping, wishing, and if onlys. If players don't know what or even when updates will happen we may look else where. Or worse, players will be thinking, "Isn't it time or well past time for an update!" anyway and be disappointed. (No date means it could be any date the player thinks is time for an update. So an actual date withheld becomes many dates missed.)I thought and thought before writing this because maybe I was feeling "put in my place" or "punished because of what they did "didn't do" . But I don't think I'm the only one that may feel this way and the feeling didn't go away it ... it got stronger.I can understand an Artist want to defend and protect their art but without those who love and appreciate their art...... What's worse, hungry, demanding, desperate for more fans or Silence?I love The Long Dark and I can't tell you how much this game has meant and means to me.RedRidinHoodx
