Again, I will warn you about this type of thinking. As I said previously, haven't Markus and the team earned your respect and trust throughout the past 23 years? I was initially critical of the Com2Us acquisition as well, but I think that we've seen enough to say that they haven't had any impact on the game.
I am personally very happy with how the series has progressed after the acquisition. I think that the core game has progressed a great deal. I was initially skeptical after hearing the OOTP 23 new features, but after sinking in hundreds of hours, I realized how dramatic the difference between 23 and 22 is in terms of the simulation engines. I'm having more fun than ever before playing OOTP 23. Hell, I even learned how to program to develop a tool for it to judge undervalued players.
Personally, I love the 3D improvements that the game has made since the Com2Us acquisition. There is a staggering difference between OOTP 21 visuals and OOTP 23 visuals. I get that playing out 3d games isn't for everyone, but the stadiums look crisp and clear, and the animations look fantastic. That's not to say that it's perfect, but the improvements have been staggering.
Whether or not that's a product of Com2Us is a legitimate question, but I think that it is. Not to praise them too much since I'm still a little but skeptical considering the other games that they've published, but I think that the partnership has been great. Everything that Markus has said since day one of the OOTP Com2Us partnership has remained true. You can go back and check. There's no reason to doubt Markus and the team, especially considering the upgrades to the game since Com2Us acquired OOTP, Markus's track record, and the fact that literally nothing we've seen so far from Com2Us with OOTP has been bad. Nothing.
When judging things like this, it's important to have a clean slate. When the deal first happened, I did not. But after considering everything that's happened for (almost) two years, I'd say that it's time to give Com2Us a fair chance.
