That's how it came off to me as well, especially considering the accusations of theft, the timing of this whole blowup, the email addresses to Universal rep being put out there ... definitely clouds the larger message I think. There's usually always elements of truth to everything and it sounds like he has reason to be pissed. But this is coming off like an ugly divorce and we're all the kids choosing sides.
I'd like to hear from them also as I'm still in - dream theme and a beautiful game. I wouldn't expect them to address the accusations individually but a complete and thorough status update (weekly??) that continues through the production run is deserved and needed for those of us still supporting an endeavor that just got a lot more risky.
