OOTP 8 is a separate game. If they were to issue licenses to each person who has OOTP 2007, Steve has already said they would lose money on each license. Steve has also said that releasing it for $5.99 or whatever the coupon will make it is the lowest they can offer it for and not lose money. If, for example, they lose $5.00 for every license and for example, 10,000 copies, they would lose $50,000 dollars. Now, they need to sell almost 3,400 hundred copies of "OOTP 8.5" just to break even with those 10,000. Is that really a smart business move?
