I don’t see what all the hubbub is about, although I do find this thread
very entertaining

... If the worst-case scenario were to present itself and graphics ruin, say, OOTP v16, I’d just go on – as RchW basically says above - playing a great prior version; I won’t boycott those, too, just because the new graphics-version sucks.
And wasn’t there a previous version (7 or something?) that really took some wrongs turns and didn’t work out so well? Seems that if graphics "ruined" a future version, it’s quite conceivable that OOTP would get back on track.
