No worries Will. Everyone has enough experience with this. When you guys said "Dec 2020", everyone's brain automatically adjusted and we heard "Dec 2021" anyway.

Take your time and stay safe!
When it comes to just taking care of your own little bit of code or design, yes, personally I preferred to do it at home or at some secluded location without anyone disturbing. However, to create a cohesive product, you need to discuss designs. Graphical design the most, but even code design sometimes need a collective look at. There are tools to interact over Internet, but meeting in person is a lot more efficient. That's my experience at least. A whiteboard and everyone seated around a table, and someone leading the brainstorming, just doesn't feel right on a computer screen.
Was worried about that
I pay attention to more than just what's posted on forums, I pay attention to financial reports, stock and holdings, I look at performance over time..
I'm not just a player of video games. That's okay though. The business side of it isn't really your concern, neither it is of mine.. but of those that have pumped a lot of money into the company. I'm not worried about their finances so much as I'm worried about the money being wasted. It's opinion and it's not hard to see where the money is going.
Uneducated people mock what they don't understand, and I've been around long enough to know this is a fact, not opinion.
I'm a bully? News to me, I was making an observation and an educated analysis, and then an opinionated response...
but yeah, I was "bullying"... , because I'm clearly a "black knight" with my toxic behavior and insults.
I'm done listening to you white knights, that's clearly all you are here to do.
2 ignored, more to follow I'm sure, but I said what I had to say, I'm done now. Have a good day.
Frontier, take care, best of luck, health, safety, all of that to you.
Sizing software is notoriously difficult to get right. To be honest, I would have been incredibly surprised if new era had not been delayed, especially since Frontier have undoubtedly lost some time in the transition to a remote working company. You can size software repeatedly and accurately if you're using something like SEI CMM level 5 process, but that's so expensive it's only done if you're writing avionics or medical (or other safety critical) software - it's way too expensive for game development.
He never said you were a bully for crying out loud. Just your total misunderstanding of the English language. The phrase 'bully for you' actually means 'used to express admiration or approval'. Don't make yourself look foolish by claiming things that are clearly the opposite of your interpretation
"reexamine the roadmap"... What roadmap? Why even have one at the moment?
"Bully for you" is just a saying, it essentially means "good on you"
I guess you could say China is entirely responsible for this delay... (as the origin of Covid-19)
But if you are insinuating that a less than 8% shareholder is responsible... Wow! Just Wow, amazing conspiracy theory
Maybe you should see your GP about that cough, and maybe some self-isolation too
Heh, I didn't know about the 8% shareholder thing. Nice find.
Hi Will, hope you are all OK.

I am a software developer, working from home during these events and I can tell you that it's not that easy.
Sure, if you're working on something that requires little to no collaboration, I can see how you might be as productive as being sat at your desk. Tell that to me though, who has two young children that aren't at school at the moment, one of which is severely autistic and needs 24/7 care. Tell that to me, who's wife is a front-line nurse helping to fight this thing - who comes home exhausted every day.
In between all the working from home I'm supposed to be doing, I'm home schooling the kids, keeping them safe and happy - cooking meals for all of us and keeping everything running at home and trying not to stress over the fact that I have a really inconveniently timed broken pipe, that's ruining the plaster in my hall and living room.
I can 100% assure you, that I am nowhere near as productive at home than I am at work.
But that's just me, and everyone has their own experience.
I want to thank Frontier for providing me with an awesome way to escape all that for a few hours before I go to bed; just wandering around out there on the rim of the galaxy, or parking my ship on an undiscovered moon somewhere while I watch an alien sun rise.

I suppose we were due another one.
