At that point, what's right and what's wrong in terms of behavior don't really matter.In some ways it's like when a football player or movie star is caught doing something bad or something that the public disapproves of. Regardless of what is actually happening or what the final truth of that matter turns out to be, it can cripple a career. Hell, Governor Blago hasn't been brought to trial yet but to many, including myself, guilty.Some can stand on the podium and go "ye be owed nothing" and if there were no future product coming out, not a single thing that the people in charge wanted the fans to purchase in the future, you'd be right.But as we're talking about a person in a business, well, it remains to be seen what the actual effect of these news articles will be and what real effect they will have on future sales.As I've noted elsewhere, I've got no dog in this but if people are thinking that some who've played the game for 30+ years and have waited that long for Gary's vision to come out and feel that's threatened now aren't going to feel threatened? They don't hold the same passion for the game for right or wrong reasons.</blockquote>
