Ashes of Creation dev responds to complaints about being too transparent

If there's one thing I've never really seen players complain about, it's a developer being too transparent. Oftentimes game development is shrouded in shadows, hidden behind an impenetrable curtain, for better or worse. But, in a new Reddit thread, Intrepid Studios, the developer of Ashes of Creation, has come under fire for publicly announcing its internal deadlines, some of which haven't yet been met. In response, creative director Steven Sharif has urged fans to keep a level head, noting that the team will maintain its transparent approach to development going forward, whether some players like it or not.
