If you survive the initiation process you can actually have a pretty fun time on this forum. 

It's a play on "The pot calling the kettle black" which is a pretty common expression.  It means you're doing the very thing you're accusing the other person of.

I'm not even going to bother with your other points, because you chief rebuttal is "NO, YOU MISS THE POINT" which isn't really a good argument for anything.  The reality is you don't need to agree with me, the facts you're trying so hard to ignore speak for themselves.  The changes were badly needed for the sake of gameplay, you don't understand that because you haven't been playing that long.  Instead you prefer to argue the semantics of "gamebreaking" in a context which is entirely irrelevant to game balance.

I'm sorry this change irreparably damaged your experience, perhaps they'd give you a refund if you asked.  That's between you and steam.  Ironclad was pretty clear in the patch notes that the update would break savegames.  Your issue really is with steam in that regard for auto updating.  Realistically, you have complete control over the auto-update features, so it's your own fault.

LOL...you just never quit do you
