Re: Advice needed on Classic SE IV
Well the thing is that during those 2 years that MM is going to have reduced cashflow. So either a quick development project line (they have starfury so that will help) i guess if they went with the dual role ie say 4 monthly upgrades of SE4 until SE5 is out - but charge $5 each major upgrade so they get ongoing cashflow - and this might help speed up the SE5 development project. Dunno just throwing around business ideas that might get read.

Re: Advice needed on Classic SE IV
That would greatly, greatly slow down the development of SEV, as it would take away from time that would be better spent on working on SEV.
Also, MM has stated that there will NEVER be any more pay for upgrades for SE4 after Gold. Not a "Platinum", not 5 dollars a patch, nothing. Repeatedly posting about it is not going to change anything.

Re: Advice needed on Classic SE IV
Paul, Aaron is MM's ONLY programmer, and $5 monthly patches aren't going to change that. I doubt most people would by them anyway, and that would split PBW. So throwing more cash at the issue isn't going to speed things up where it counts- the design and programming.

Thanks for the help in advance, been a couple years since I broke out SE IV. SE V is a definite must-have if its as good as SE IV.

What language do you speak normally?
Gold is a much better game. Buy Gold.

You hit it right on the nose P-D. I know I sure wouldn't pay $5 for any upgrades, and I doubt many other people would. The game is JUST FINE as it is. Lets leave it alone, ok?
