Secondly i don't think they had any new ideas yet to how they would want diablo 3 to be/seem like

I know this was a few pages back. ( Don't check the forums one day and like 5 pages are added, lol) But I'm pretty since they were saying Diablo 3 would be released a few years ago.( Originally around 5 or 6 I think? Could be only 3 or 4 really.) If my memory is correct that is. WOW set it back for a while, more so than the other Blizzard games.
As for the rest of it. I don't think this thread is going to change much. A lot of people are upset. I work at Gamestop and I have tons of people coming in flipping out about this, like I can do anything about it. ( Since we sell the DLC for it, it of course means we control the game.) The lack of information is stressful, not just from a consumer, but as someone who deals with games.
I'm really really really really hoping that since they are showing a preview at E3 they may release more of a date. I'm not sure what else we can hope for. I saw someone posted a list of their other games and some of those were a month late. It seems to be a bad habit Telltale should probably consider breaking.
I know it's creative work and I know it takes time. But that is something they should consider BEFORE releasing the first episode and BEFORE offering a Season Pass to the games.
Sure, there is other stuff for us to do. Sure, I bet some( some anyways) of these people have plenty of patience. But, it's the being left in the dark thing that has people upset.
The bottom line is, it's the principle of the matter. About doing what is right and keeping the people who pay your bills happy, even if that means having to do something that is difficult like addressing the concerns of an unhappy mob.
People are going to complain. Majority of people HATE where I work. They hate the company. I deal with people's outrages all the time. I can fully understand both sides of the table on this. Yet, myself and others( the good ones) who work with me always try to explain to the customers why things are the way they are. Even when we aren't really suppose to. It's because we don't like our customers upset and we want them to come back.
That is just what happens when you own a business. And you have to deal with the crap. But you actually have to DEAL with it to make people understand your side better. Ignoring the fact helps nobody.
