Yeah, it's indeed, two sides of a medal.
On the one side, developing mod is not a job. People "sacrifice" their time doing stuff for us, and, why would we just be more pathient? No one going to hurt, or suffer, if mod's relice shall be delayed? And, in the end of all, Discovery freelancer is not the only game... Myself, I just found, that I have old CD's with Rome Total War, and decided to conquer europe another time.
On the other hand. If you are indeed sacrificing (inf full meaining of this word) your time and effort, doing discovery mod developing, why not to stand away? Im mostly sure, there are members in our community, who could aid Disco develop. team, and then join it.
