I have very specifically not mentioned the names of any of the developers who appear less on top of this transition. I’ve mentioned a few who I feel have done it well but have gone out of my way not to criticize anyone specifically. Given the complexity of the situation and some of the specific cases, that would be unfair. That said, there are developers who I’ve purchased many products from who have said absolutely nothing about their 2024 plans–that’s just not right either.
Also, I’m not of the mindset that we should be patient or that giving developers more time definitively or generally leads to better products in the long run. We have all seen many wildly delayed products be absolutely terrible when eventually released–I’d love to name some but won’t. Time and patience do not always equate or lead to quality and market success.
