[Master Belisarius]

I don't think the main problem with MOO3 was sell an unfinished game, think was a big design problem.
After all, I knew several people angry with SE4 because believed they purchased an unfinished game, and more people angry because were forced to purchase SE4Gold to get a few more features, but get the new patches.
In my case I had not these problems, because always loved SE4, and for the same reason, had not problems to purchase SE4Gold (I have received a SE4Gold copy because I'm beta testar, but also purchased a new copy).
At the end, to me was the game with best rate between cost/hours played(and modding!).
