Maybe he can find someone he trusts to take over the update process for him?

it'd be very difficult for someone to just walk in and start re-writing code, even if it was well documented, it'd be expensive too.

While I respect the opinion of Atrocites and others who have definately invested more into this game in time and resources then I have, I must say I don't want a patch.

Are things broken? Do the bugs exist? Yes. No doubts about it.

Should they be reported? Yes. No doubts about it.

Would I patch SEIV if a patch was released? Probably.

Would I resent the time away from SEV? Yes. (though Aaron needs to take frequent refresher breaks to keep the mind clear- I understand that)

My Point? Bugs should still be reported and then those reports used to make sure the same bugs do not occur in SEV. As great as SEIV is, I know deep in my gaming soul that SEV will be that much better and I would rather let Aaron continue with his train of thought on SEV then break modes and have to re-think in SEIV. I also would not want him to hire it out because.. point blank - I probably wouldn't pay for an update for SEIV at this point which means he would lose money and he doesn't need to do that. I want more games from him, not less because he is running low on funds.

I got way more than my moneys worth out of SE IV. Sure I'd like to see another patch, but not if SE V is delayed because of it. Since Malfador is a one man shop it's probably one or the other.

Well, once SEV is released, it won't be very important to me whether Aaron makes a final patch for SEIV, as I will be busy playing SEV.
