I mean, that was the whole point of this post.
To avoid walking in to something I did not like. If I ask a car salesmen about the spec sheet, he does not say 'find out for yourself'...even when he will let me test drive it. If ask for details about that new bench saw I have my eye on, the Hardware store owner does not say 'just get it, use it, you will see for yourself'.
Feels a bit disingenuous TBH, I might pass this one, if a dev cannot even give me straight answer to a relatively simple question about their game, without being vague and evasive... that implies something about them and the game.
