To all who have overly criticized his disappearance, I am a ashamed, although I understand why they would do that (I could have been part of those), and at first it could have been justified. But realize that it is NOT like that that Josh will EVER want to come back to the forum.
So i write this post in the hopes that Josh would read it and would feels better if he does. I have been a fan of all space/sci-fi games since i was a kid (i'm 20 now), I've played ARES from ambrosia, star wars racer, the escape velocity series, then I discovered X3, i was amazed with that game, so complex and had so many features. Out of ALL the games i've been looking at, THIS game is the one that i find has the most potential, along with" no man's sky".
I have been following the forum daily for the last year and a half, and i ended up doing so weekly in those last month, when Josh had disappeared every time in the hope that I would see a "JOSH IS BACK" topic. And although i'm disappointed that i never see this thread, i do not want to loose hope, i want him back so bad. He was the first thing i would check on every morning, and i was so interested in all of his work.
I'm really sad not to see you on the forum any more Josh, and i do not think that locking yourself in your bubble is a positive thing, for you or for anyone that has a downturn in their lives. Just know that there are still many people on here that are waiting on you, always exited to see news on you and your work, even if certain are mostly silent, like me.
I miss you Josh, we all do.
Hope you are well. Come back soon.
