I find this thread fairly amusing. I haven't read it beginning to end, but I don't think I need to.

We really should feel "lucky" (it's the best word I can come up with in this situation) that we have ANY communication with the developers. Ever get an email from EA giving us beta updates on their latest and greatest? The fact that Brad, Sebastian and everyone else on the team sets time aside to answer just about every question that can be answered (even the moronic ones), says something about what this company thinks of us, their consumers.

It's this level of customer service, both FHM and OOTP, that keeps me coming back, year after year, buying every single new version, even if the differences are minor. As a company, they have also earned my trust that they will follow through on what we tell them we want, and that they will do their best to include it as they see fit. If that trust is broken at some point in the future, well, I will deal with it then. I want to support this company and watch it grow, if only because that will allow them to hire more people, people that can help make the games better each year, bringing in more $$ and repeating the cycle.

I have no doubt this type of post has been made before and by no means am I looking to stroke egos or pump anyone's tires (to quote Roberto Luongo), and I am not advocating blind faith. If you are new to this company, then it will take time, that's understandable, but also know that the OOTP team has come through time after time, which again, is why we keep coming back. That's all I have.

Keep up the great work guys and I am patiently waiting for FHM 15!
