It's funny they were so quick to jump ship when it meant they had to do little to no work, but now that everyone wants a proper rework, the jmods are nowhere to be seen.
You keep making this accusation and it's farcical and insulting to the developers. If they made decisions based on what to implement to skip on work, they would be fired. We far more often have the exact opposite problem, where developers publicly promise far too much, or privately believe that more work would make the project better, and then do voluntary overtime in order to make that happen.
It's easy to follow him in his accusations if you guys keep pulling the same unprofessional shit every damn time. Don't promise things you can't release. Don't start a massive hype to later shelve the whole thing. Got an idea? Discuss in house, develop completely without batches and release. Then watch the community be happy.
If you're labelling "communication with players" as "unprofessional sh*t" than I can't agree with you. Some players want more communication and information. Some players would prefer less. Neither is a matter of professionalism. Some players can't deal with the realities of development, which is that until something is launched and live there's a possibility it might change, get delayed or get cancelled. That's also not an issue of professionalism, except inasmuch as "sometimes things get changed, delayed or cancelled" is a matter of professional reality.
I feel that once again regular Jmods are being punished for the decisions of their superiors. I do agree with what u/MarkAntonyRs said, but it's usually not the devs that make the bad/controversial decision to shelve/change updates, but we as players don't have much to voice our complaints against other than the jmods, and we have to hope that the higher-ups read our complains and take them to heart.
If you (or any player) don't like a decision, it's a completely legitimate thing to say so and say you don't like that decision. What I'm objecting to isn't not liking our decision, it's the absurd accusation that the decision was made based on whatever would be the least work to implement. As a person who wouldn't personally have had to implement the work, I'm insulted by this on behalf of my hard-working colleagues.
