My take on why it is taking so long is that they hired new people who had to be brought up to date on what they wanted to do in the future, get them familiar with what had been done in the past, discuss what needed to be done so they could do what the Pimps wanted in the game. Have lots and lots of very important discussions of what was feasible, what wasn't, what needed to be changed to make the game be what the Pimps wanted.Then, they had to get to work on that. You don't go and get lumber, cement blocks, bricks, sheetrock and whatever else is needed and then get the crew and go put it up before the owners state how they want the house made. Design, figure layout, get materials, make sure equipment is working, supplies is needed, crew is able to do the job, all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted, THEN you start to build it.
Yes, some stuff should have been done a alpha or so back, that is past, quick harping on the past. Focus on the future, They have to redo a lot that takes time, then they have to add the new stuff, that takes time, they have to test it and see if it will work, that takes time.
Do something like what I have done, take a break, go check out other games, play some new games replay some old games you have played for a year or more.
I realized that I had to buy a gaming keypad and need to learn how to use it so I can play the game that is top of my favorite list (7 Days). Admit that I need to go to pain management due to back and shoulder. Check out mods and somewhat play them, check out new games, I bought seven of them, watching videos of them so when I can play I will have a idea of what I am dong (I hope).
Relax, chill out, spend time with family, watch a movie with your family, friends, or by yourself and not have to argue over the volume.
Did I remember to say relax?
Happy Easter to everyone.
