I actually agree with you on osmething there Styx! Glad that Markus has nothing to do with SEGA anymore.
While making no excuses for the cock up with v2006, the association with SI and their resources gave Markus a better platform for the game going forward. I don't think it's stretching too far to suggest that OOTPD may not have survived without that partnership.

The next 12-24 months will be critical. The bad economy has really killed discretionary spending. That plus losses in retirement savings even has me looking at a budget for the first time in a decade.
