Default Re: SE IV The End Of An Era.

I second (third...) the SE4 being a neat game part.

I do rather dislike the sentiment "the end of a game etc." Games don't really end or die. Pong still exists. People still play pre-Gold, SE3, Nethack, Atari 2600 games, and so on. I know that's not what you meant, but I dislike the language and sentiment of "game X is dead (or has ended) because there it's not the latest thing, patches probably won't be released for it, or there aren't as many players for it as there used to be." At least the remaining players will be interested in the merits rather than in the "latest thing" hype, and will tend not to be thoughts about when "the end" of the game will be.

Also, looking at Star Fury, I'm not so sure I'll be thrilled with SE5.
