Regarding the development, the silence and many things going wrong, (which I will not describe now, because many other users and also threads had adressed these issues a felt million times resulting in slight or no change), there will be no A9 for me at anytime at the moment, regardless how good and improved it would be. I would rather switch to a new system. Only exception would be some coming-out-of-nothing awesome updates for A8 to get it fluent in workflow, lightning fast, intuitive, modern, rocksolid, mostly bugfree and easy accessible
I am with Gamestudio since first A5 Days and seeing how things have become uncomfotable and in some way spiced with an Ghosttown-Atmosphere is almost depressing.
