Don't worry, in time you shall grow quite tired from all the screaming, specially with the massive pro RM2 crowd on board here. Then you can settle into a deep resentment mollified by constant attempts at positive thinking. I am here if you need me.
The flux like state of the RM titles is what it is, the crazy scheme the new ICE is stuck with as it rebuilds a fan base and tries to be successful.
To be fair (to us!) there was a heck of a long time when our preferred game was abandoned and at least some of us (like me!) were at the boards anyhow. I even own RMSS, so it's not like I didn't support the company financially despite them abandoning the game I loved and replacing it with one I don't even much like. I am sure a bunch of other RM2ers bought at least some of the RMSS/FRP material, too.
However, I think that both camps should now be happy enough, because the core products (at the least) for both systems are available for ever and ever in electronic form amen (and presumably for as long as there is an ICE, they can do print runs of appropriate size for the demand for each individual product to sell hard copy). In the short term I guess that the regenesis of RM2 sucked up some oxygen (but why begrudge us that? We kept the faith despite being ignored and neglected for a decade) but presumably the time is coming when ICE focus their efforts according to what sells best and/or what dual-system products they can produce. I can imagine that economic realities leave
both camps unsatisfied in some sense -- some of us would like more modules but they may not be profitable enough to produce many, whilst others will want a whole bunch of other products that won't appear or whose appearance will be slowed by economic realities -- but that's probably the nature of tabletop gaming nowadays for nearly everyone.
As for the forum makeup I personally think that there are an inexplicable number of RMSS/FRPers here, although at least they'll be around for me to blame in the final minutes before the asteroid strikes. However, ICE know what their sales figures are and they'll presumably follow them, so the prevalence of comments on these forums are presumably only loosely correlated to what actually happens (assuming that most of ICE's customer base aren't posting here, which must be the case for the company to support three full-time staff, I would imagine). Whichever camp that favours (and I have no idea which that will be, as I haven't penetrated the top-secret ICE underground headquarters to launch a close-quarters attack on their supercomputers), the other camp can't really blame ICE much, given the problems they've had and their need to follow the money to survive.
