I think to keep everyone happy Markus should take the fixes out of v8
That way 2007 and v8 players end up with exactly the same game and 2007 users won't get that cheated feeling (more
).
Back to reality and facts..
I also paid full price for 2007 but guess what I will have gotten a years use from my version before v9 comes out. Those buying the game now will get 3-4 months. In previous years, at least before joining SI, OOTP was discounted late in the year to $19.99. Were we getting screwed back then too since the new buyers were getting the game cheaper than us?
So, really this years discount is no different than previous ones except for that huge fix list that really isn't worth getting excited about and the new features that are available for free, for the most part, to those that want them.
I think most people are reasonable enough to realize this is a unique situation with the companies splitting and OOTP Dev is doing it's best to make it as right as it can. I was being sarcastic at the beginning of this post but in reality Markus would have been better off to NOT put in the fixes and avoid the whining it was bound to cause.
