It doesn't matter. The 200-300 people here aren't even a drop in the bucket of the tens of thousands who buy computer games. EA wouldn't even miss our dollars...

You know Eldred I have been thinking the same way for years. While some here are very vocal it really doesn't matter to the corporations. I'll bet 99% of game players don't even know Usenet even exists.

It wouldn't see the lurkers. Eldred -- .sig file is at the cleaners... Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank -2.4 N2k3 rank ? Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

actually, i am glad nr2k3 is the last from papy, for a while. this will cause a great amount of stablity in the online racing circles. also, people will be more willing to put the time into developing extras using project wildfire.

I have the PS2 version and I find that it is at least acceptable as compared to earlier versionss. Although Dirt to Datona is by far the better game, I still like the improvements they have made and at least it is interesting enough to keep me playing it. Maybe they will hire the Papy designers and the Atari designers (they made the Heat Series) and we will have the most realistic, fun and incredible rendition of Nascar Racing. So even though this may look like a downer for us sim fans, it may turn out to be to a good thing. At least this would be mhy hope, anyway -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----
