    Dear Uber Entertainment, myself and some others have been very vocal lately and I do not speak for them but I know I was a bit out of line. During the Tournament I got a bit flustered due to some organizational issues with the tournament, I do understand that Uber and the developers that worked on the tournament have put a ton of effort into this and I understand that Exodus ESports are still working on always giving a better experience. Both of parties are new to tournaments and we as players are new to them too. We're all growing with this game together.

    About the posts about commanders and all that other jazz, It's Your game, Your content that you let us all be apart of. We the players/consumers purchased your game and if someone did not know what they were signing on for "Early Access" then that is by all means there fault. We the community are confused on some things and are hoping for more open sets of dialogue between the Developers and the players. I thoroughly enjoyed the livestreams with the couch sit down as the community got to ask questions and it was a fun and enjoyable experience for all parties. Please Please Please Bring those back. It kinda seems like you guys are getting so into bringing us awesome that were not talking as much anymore. Don't break up with us.....

    Your business decisions are just that, your own decisions and that's something that no one in the community unless they are developing a new generation of RTS, a new engine, a new community, can say anything about.

    Uber, just keep doing what you're doing and stay classy.

    From a member of your healthy community

    I'd like to say that the Progenitor demands official recognition from Uber as the UNDISPUTED GOD OF ALL COMMANDERS.

    Should Uber fail to release a statement of ABSOLUTE FAITH AND OBEDIENCE to the Progenitor he will curse you with a generally mediocre disposition for 9.835126 Years(give or take 2 Months, 3 days).

    You have been warned Uber!

    Blessed is the Progenitor!

    I entirely disagree.

    Your business decisions affect more than just yourself; they affect every single consumer that purchases your product and, therefore, you should always bear in mind the effect such decisions will have.

    I agree, I've been a big supporter of uber, however the latest questionable decision is really starting to make me wonder (it has been hinted it may be wip however other changes like this have made it through unchanged so I'm not convinced).

    They really should think more carefully about these things. The community here can and should be their biggest ambassadors if treated well.

    I disagree completely somewhat.

    It is their sovereign right as the sole proprietors of their property to set their terms and prices exactly how they please. I cannot abide by any language which implies otherwise.
    Secondly, their business decisions, if you wish to be wholly consistent, also affect those who do not purchase their product, since it may sway them to not purchase the product, as well as the myriad of other, incredibly subtle and nigh immeasurable effects on the market that the capital and consumption spent in the making and purchasing of this game make manifest through each individuals preference and opportunity cost.

    That is not to say that they ought not observe and listen to what wisdom may come to them through the community they have built around their product, such is prudent, I agree. I merely disagree with your rhetoric and assumptions, Nanolathe.

    Yes, but its the situations where they go back of previously stated terms(Delta and Progenitor Exclusivity among other situations) and do it with what feels like very little regard towards the consumers being directly affected by those actions.

    If we hadn't paid for the game I'd 100% agree with the OP.
