So in terms of personal wishes for this game, I am firmly against having OOTP introduce fancier graphics, if that represents any diversion of development effort away from continuing to improve the features of the game that I like.
But i appreciate that really making the game grow enough to allow Markus and Andreas to earn a decent living from it may require doing exactly what you are advocating. So we'll see. If Markus can continue to improve the financials, make for a richer historical environment, and the other things that keep people buying the game every year and work in the graphics in a way that won't so cramp the engine that it becomes a trade-off of some features against others, then all I can do is wish him well. But if not, I can stop buying a game as I have now done for 7 straight releases and stay with what i've got, which will last me a long, long time.

I have to agree with Broman, i have bought every release from Season Ticket Baseball. I could also walk away now and be happy with OOTP 11 for ever, but i buy every year to support Markus. I am one of those who wish's Markus would take a year just to squish all the long standing bugs that come back year after year....
But i realize Markus has to eat also...
