A big thank you from the Russian player, but is there an opportunity for you to make at least a short answer from Chris? So that I can translate this into my language. Of course, if it's not difficult for you)

 

Too much work, not enough time for me to do this.
If anyone else wants to do transcripts, please feel free.

It's information they should be providing, but they've long since abandoned the forums as anything more than collecting bug reports or "wish lists" to ignore, or letting us fight among ourselves. It's only those who have the patience to sift through hours upon untold hours of meandering, unfocused streams, who will have access to this information.

Your efforts here are commendable, however the format (theirs, not yours) is bad. Truly, honestly, densely bad. Ultimately, you will give up like generations previous have.
