The agitators, most of the time,  demanded answers to serious questions and got jack,  and threads were shut down.

in hindsight, the answers were obvious
'no, we are still not ready to build games'

not once has Mike apologized to us for the delays
not once has he owned (the reason for delay) the problem and promised to fix it

and that is why you should never hold yourself up to be Mr Perfect
