Yeah, but that's the problem; sometimes the squeeze just doesn't seem worth the juice anymore. And like I said, its not like I'm a low-crunch guy.

True. We all have our lines on that. My tolerance for sim-related crunch is, as you know, quite high.

Don't forget that a fair bit of crunch in many games is very much gamist focused, not sim, too. So neither you nor some of the other people are always interested there; if anything I'm more likely to be.

Cyberpunk 2020 has a good amount of sim-related crunch though.
