Whether or not this gets read by the Stardock employees or not I just wanted to say Thank You!

Unlike almost every other game company out there you guys don't make me feel like a wallet or a dollar sign.  Sure you've made some mistakes along the way with EWoM but you've owned up to each of them, explained to the community what happened, and provided dates when we could expect patches, and met (more or less) those deadlines.

I was especially grateful, and impressed, with the way the 1.08 patch was handled last night.  The forums were flooded with new threads about bugs and Istari (He seemed to be the one responding to everything that I noticed) was doing a great job of reading and responding to each of them in turn, and what's more the responses were polite, relevant, and helpful leaving me at least with the impression that you actually cared.  I don't think I've ever seen that level of communication and effort from a company, especially after a problematic patch.

With all the negatived feedback, and constructive criticisms coming your way the last few weeks I just thought I would take a moment to let you all know that what you've been doing right has indeed been noticed and is appreciated, at least by me.  So thank you for being generally awesome about all this, my only wish is that all companies will learn from you about how to deal with customers

P.S. The community is also generally awesome and respectful, it's almost creepy when compared to some other forums I've visited

(Edit) P.P.S. The game is good too, and getting better every week
