The possibility of partnership.

[HoneyBadger]

Well, small companies aren't really the issue, B0rsuk, the issue is Illwinter possibly partnering with another game company that would benefit my own personal gaming experience. My point and my goal is to locate a game company that, as tromper states very concisely: "makes money and doesn't rape" the game. Stardock could be a very good choice. Stardock seems to be a company which is strong in the areas Dom 3 is weak. I like that they focus on the single-player experience, and I like that they have very good AI implementation. I'm glad that Dom3 has excellent multi-player, I'm glad that aspect of the game is there if I choose to use it, but in the meantime, I enjoy playing single-player. It would be nice if less limited programming resources and man-hours could be used to smooth out some of the rougher spots in the game.
