Why not release two versions of the game: OOTP15 and OOTP3D. Keep the base text game a text game and give other users the OOTP3D version when it can be done 5 years from now.... Do not incorporate the game into one and have a option for this because you will have a lot of the graphics people complaining of the 3D graphics if it came out too early and was not good. Long live the text sim without the silly graphics.

Just my opinion. I think graphics could not be implemented before the release of OOTP15. Plus the expense of hiring a team of graphic programers since Markus has already stated that graphics programming is not something he can do without a graphics programmer. The expense of having to pay another programmer for a version of OOTP with graphics that may take a year or more to implement into the game is something that must be considered. Start the programming now and it may make it in OOTP17 or later.
