Default Re: Question for the Developers?

Thus is the need for truisms like granny used to use such as "better to be a big fish in a small pond than to be a small fish in a big pond". While everyones attention is in getting their piece of the big pond, there is room for someone who can work the small pond and do it well.

Yes the "strategy over pretty" might be a smaller group but I feel that Illwinter can grab more of that group then they could if they tried to pretty-up the game for the bigger group. Eventually that might be possible but not if they rush it. Rushing into that market would at best, make them average.

If the winnings were equal, or even slightly better, there is still something to be said for doing it your own way and with pride rather than selling for the masses. I get the impression that Illwinter made that choice long ago.
Just my humble opinion.
