Is to see what the price will be in one or two years time if it takes off. The price was always going to be good to start with. All the better to get as many people using it as possible.
These comparisons were shown to be complete lies from the middleware company. If you want to know more search the web or see the furore at the middleware site itself
I doubt we will hear about fees long after they are decided upon (probably a long time ago). Best to build up the hype first. If they said it was going to be some rediculous amount (my bet) then it would become another thing for gamers to tune out about.
I also enjoyed it. However I bought it a few years after it was released. As such it was patched to hell and actually ran well on my upgraded machine.
I know a lot of gamers have a soft spot for the series, mainly because they were done so well, with such a high level of interaction with the game world. A shame that developers couldn't keep that trend going. Hopefully this new release will have some of the old bread making just for the hell of it

Thats 100% right

No, it's only contentious with the small minority of politically correct people in this country.

It goes all the way to explain it.
These sort of things are always good. If one person there announces a new feature or shows off something good then it is worth it for me.
Would you rather 10 more articles on what pheonix is going to be called?;)

and I bet the original price tag stays with the original graphics too
that included the time it took to eat the pizza

Is anyone bringing out a decent game that isn't an expansion/sequel/rip-off?

But do they have a wall of 50 computer monitors running full-screen xeyes?
