Satisfying them will require more and more and even more resources. There will never be an end to it.
Do you want a better game or a pretty one? I want a better one, and I do not believe that OOTP has chosen wisely in choosing pretty. Hate me all you want for wanting a better text-based simulation. I don't care.

Lol, you predict misery, do you? For crying out loud. Will you take a step back and listen to yourself. A horde of locusts can bring misery, perhaps a runaway brush fire, or even living next door to a cannibal with a voracious appetite....but a video game? I have to wonder what kind of life you've led if you sincerely believe a video game possesses that kind of power over you, even one as great as OOTP. It must be a charmed one.
And if you're worried that an infusion of graphics-obssessed newcomers will lower the collective I.Q. around here you can put your mind at ease. The fact that we're even having this discussion proves that it has nowhere to go but up.
