The idea has merits Finn. When the new version is released there will be more folks willing to give it a go for the first time or returners. How long will the influx be is the question. Something for player retention needs in place and well oiled
before the update goes live. In regards to sleepy and the others go at it, I can vouch for what he says as we talked many times about it back then. However this time may be different as maybe a new set of newbies will show as well. Regardless
something needs done.
I have always wondered how many might give the game a go on their PC if only they didn't have to buy a joystick or upgrade their computer to see if they enjoyed it. There has to be tons of game players on computers that don't have a joystick. If only WB could strike a deal with a twisty stick manufacturer and bundle one somehow.
My 2¢ worth after thinking about it for 5 minutes
