Hi Dark, Not sure I'd go as far to call Brian Hartgen a moron since his reasons for not selling Q9 separately makes sense from a certain business point of view. As I understand it his entire purpose of acquiring the game was not to sell the game but to use it to add onto his Leasey product, to boost sales of Leasey, so seen from that perspective it makes sense. There is a lot that could be said here greedy, scummy, unfair, etc but the bottom line is he won't sell the game as a stand alone product because it was never his intention to do it that way. He is bundling it into his Leasey product and if you want it you have to pay the big bucks for Leasey.
To be honest I don't think Brian Hartgen really thought about the ramifications of what this would do and how angry this would make the audio games community. He saw this as a simple business transaction, one in which would boost sales of Leasey, and he didn't care if it effectively took Q9 off the market. He is not a game developer per se, and thus he has no ties to the community the way many long time audio game developers do. So he just does not see it the same way we see it. To him Q9 is just another piece of software to be sold or added to Leasey rather than sold as a separately existing product.
