All I, for one, expect is what has been promised. I anticipate anything you offer in the future. Your openness and honesty are appreciated. The taking of a poll as to whether to make the side scrolling or the 3D game indicated to me that you were willing to produce what the majority of the community wanted, which is a good thing. What was the poll's purpose if it was not to help decide which way you should go? I might have been under the wrong impression. Thanks.
