I need to clarify something: This game has not been abandoned. We're a very small company - even I'm not a full-time employee, and I'm the only one doing PR and marketing for our games. (I hope to be full-time eventually.)
Unfortunately, we need to be "all hands on deck" to get the hockey game out the door. Believe me, we wish we could either keep Sebastian on iOOTP or hire someone to take it over, but neither solution is possible right now - once FHM is out and the company sees revenue from it (sales have been good during the Beta period, but we really need the game to take off once it's finished), we can reassess where we are and figure out future plans for all our games.
Personally, I love playing iOOTP on my iPad and would be the first person to say something to the guys in Germany if I felt the game was being abandoned. I realize we have a wish list of updates to get out the door, and I'm sorry we won't be able to deal with them until after 9/3, but we will get to them.
There is no way this game will die. It's an important part of the company's strategy as we try to get mainstream baseball fans interested in the idea of sports management games (they're popular in Europe, but not so much in the US). We definitely want to get the game ported to Android, so that's part of our plans too.
Believe me, we understand your frustration, and we're sorry you feel that way. Please bear with us while we go through these growing pains. Thanks.
