My full quote was...

Quote:
"When you run time forward 3-5 years, the question that comes up is: which of these markets will the competition be focusing on? Where will OOTP's bread-and-butter come from? How can OOTP be a market leader in a world where bigger corporate teams have begun to appear?

I quite honestly worry that the decision to continue to try to be everything to everyone is going to result in OOTP winding up being skin-deep everywhere in comparison to other products..."
In other words, it doesn't matter in this discussion where OOTP is today. It matters where it is relative to the competition in 3-5 years. I'm very aware of how good OOTP is, and I'm also very aware of some of the design corners Markus is painted into that will keep him from satisfying the fictional market in the long run. My point in that discussion was that the competition is getting bigger and stronger, and is developing their game at a time where more is known about how the game of baseball works. If I am correct, OOTP will very soon (if not already) look skin-deep.

And, as we've seen here...there is a LOT of competition.

Of course, I could be wrong. I'm just one guy.
