Actually, why can't we have the new game as well as the old. The old is first finished, then comes the new. I'm excited about both, and I don't see why they can't coexist. I support Thomas in his creation of the 3D game, but all in good time. Complete one project that has long been waited for, then work on the next. Get one game out of the way, be done with it, then work on what's in the future. If a game is half completed, and it was paid for, crank it out, fine tune it through beta testing, and distribute it. Gamers who have not bought it yet just might do so, and those who have already bought it get what they paid for. And, hopefully, all supportive gamers will continue to be supportive based on this course of action, as he will be aiming to please the paying customers. I am open to how my thoughts are unreasonable. I don't expect the game to be out in a day, a week, a month, or any designated time. As long as it is still being worked on, and effort is made to get it to those of us who are willing to wait, that's fine. But to seemingly drop it in midproduction is not the right way to go.
