you have low standards sir, no offense but most of the games i have played have gotten years of support.... League Of Legends comes to mind, they started it October 27, 2009 and they are still supporting it today.
Activision supports their games even before they release them, they roll out beta's and then get feedback throughout the life of their game.
What in the hell does casual players not wanting to wait have to do with NRS continuing to support the game?
This thread... seriously... 12 pages... People flaming "complainers" that are mad about the time frame of release... when there's like, 3 or 4 people that are actually making that complaint.
Before you guys start calling each other idiots, consider for just a single second that continued support into next year can happen without an announcement of DLC coming out next year. Why are you all assuming that just because character development for KP2 will continue until release that this means every other aspect of the game (balance, etc) will continue to receive support? You have nothing that suggests this.
Obviously continued support is a great thing for the game, but that isn't what the announcement implies. At all.
Would all of you making this claim be satisfied if there were no mention of KP2 and the announcement was simply "we will continue to support the game into 2016"??? Bullshit. You'd all be pissed.
