Nice try, but no dice. My statement was an attempt to put things in some kind of perspective. In all seriousness, if this really is the worst news any of us hears all day, especially after considering all the horrible alternatives that could befall us personally or our loved ones, we should consider ourselves genuinely blessed.
In addition, some here are making it sound as if the game is nigh unplayable, and that Markus has never made a single refinement to the AI. I read his statement as well, and he didn't assert that he was done refining the AI (which he is constantly doing, BTW), just that he feels OOTP' possesses the best AI for any game of its type (Which is true, IMHO. FM isn't anywhere near as complex as OOTP) and that he wants to focus more resources on adding new features....the same new features, BTW, that other customers have repeatedly and incessantly requested here.
We can't have it both ways. I'm sure there are new features that we all want added to the game, and, of course, we all want OOTP's AI to perform flawlessly. The challenge that Markus obviously faces is how to balance the two without alienating one group or the other. Judging by the tenor of this thread, I wish him all the luck in the world with that.
