Shaun Sullivan (creator of Puresim) said that he is very pleased with his sales numbers so far, and I think he at least partially attributes it to having the release prior to opening day. He decided on a release date and stuck to it. He prioritized the features and just stopped new development to give himself enough time to just work on bug fixes as needed. It was a good plan.

I'm having a lot of fun with Puresim 4, playing a historical league that I started with the 1970 Yanks. I just edged Baltimore for the AL East, but lost to Oakland in the ALCS. When OOTP 12 comes out (which I preordered) I will probably compare the results of the two for historical play. Both will get some playing time and I'll have to see which one wins out as my 'main' baseball game. I play a ton of other games so baseball games aren't my only thing.
