[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 355854] Re: Please upgrade to nexuiz 2.5.2

[PowerUser]

Wow, I created this bug (about 2.5.1) for "just" some half year or so.

So, Ubuntu users not just have to suck with defective 2.4.2 (which fails
to operate with current servers) but they also have to suck yet another
half of year! Surely there are downloads and PPAs but for average user
it's too complicated. And you seems to care about formalism and
bureaucracy far more than about user experience.

That's why we have 90% users using Windows and only some 1-2% using
Linux. If you're going to treat your users in THESE stupid ways, you
would never be able to defeat Windows. Quick installation of good and
free game via Ubuntu software center can be seen as advantage by users.
Installation of defunct and terribly outdated 2.4.2 could be seen as
epic fail only. Nothing more, nothing less.  Servers admins are not
going to wait while all retards would update to 2.5, they simply updated
all servers to 2.5 and there is virtually no option to use 2.4.2 anyhow.
Nexuiz is a NETWORKED game and if remote servers are not willing to co-
operate with your ancient crap, you're OUT OF LUCK. And it's network
gameplay what mages Nexius is worth of trying at all. So, I filed bug
almost half year ago and still for nothing. Thanks for taking care about
user's experience so much - looks like yet another epic fail :(
