The Daily Grind: Do you tend to believe dev statements? (Massively)
I used to, lol! I've been disappointed too many times to not take everything said by devs with a grain of salt nowadays. Lets face it, their livelihood depends on people believing them.
There are certain phrases that I read pre-release such as 'not in at launch' that bug me. I read 'not in at launch' as 'we aren't going to have it' and I'll be pleasantly surprised if it shows up.
The area that bothers me the most on pre-release dev talk is about features that don't end up showing up because of time/money constraints. Then again, I've stopped closely following games and just wait to see what they are like (especially first impressions articles at sites like Massively). Call me a jaded gamer, it's hard to believe anything these days (and that pretty much applies to everything in the real world too, unfortunately).
