I think you might mean, "hard core" don't you? You seem to think that because you have a history of playing the series, that somehow entitles your opinion to have more value? What makes you "core" players? Most people don't complain bitterly about the shortcomings of the game because despite them, they still have a good time with it.

You are trying to tell me that by creating a GOTY, CA has also alienated their "core" players and "put a gun to their temple"??? I think you are overreacting to the situation just a tad.

They seem to have a good history. Their base product is good. I have faith that they will make good fixes in the patch, but that you will have to wait for an expansion pack (if any) to address AI issues.

And I don't want you to go away. You are just as entitled to say what you want as anyone else. I simply think what you are saying won't change anything, EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT. That's because money makes the world go round, not doing the right thing. The hardest lesson I ever learned in life was that being right doesn't matter a whit, unless you're in charge.
