Eh, I confess by end of page five this became a Reddit post, and I quit reading. Anyway, I came here looking for new info, but apparently I was already up-to-date.
Well, sort of. He said two things on the same sentence: that what Squad announced as an expansion was in fact RoverDude's MKS, and that paid DLC was finally coming to KSP. Connecting the dots between the two is really a no-brainer, but I don't recall him ever saying that explicitly.
Well, maybe you're blind about the rest of this topic? Those are the only ones with forum accounts.
@Andem, I couldn't disagree more. In fact, I think you're the one being unnecessarily and unfairly harsh with him. He is having his job attacked; he is being accused of being a sock puppet; he is defending the people he (willingly and, it seems to me, proudly) works for, making a game he, you, I and everyone else in this forum loves. He is replying to accusations of Squad mistreating their employees stating that he loves working on the game and that his work conditions are fine, and that he can't say anything for the others because it's both illegal and unethical, and yet you insist on calling on him. Why? What do you expect him to do?
Will you only be satisfied when someone starts naming names, narrating personal fights, disclosing who has received a better job proposition from where? Would you want that done to you?
Now, I really wish some of the former devs would step in and speak something. Anything, really, just "hi, we're fine". I don't need an explanation, I don't suppose they owe me one. In fact, they don't even owe me what I just asked for, and I'm okay with that. Maybe they're angry, maybe they're afraid of backlash, maybe they're just too damn tired. Whatever their reason, even if they never show up again they're well within their rights, and I should just deal with it. Calling them on moral high ground isn't doing anyone any favors.
And @Mycroft, I applaud the intention of this thread. Not to discuss what is happening or what should be done (hint: nothing, at least by us), but simply because people are flaming all around, based on things that they heard other people flaming about, rather than any evidence. I like evidence. Is very nice.
