That would be the kind of thing appropriate to post here in the forum, which I just did a couple of days ago.


For the vast majority of products a manual is simply an overview of how to operate a product and do basic troubleshooting. I liked the idea someone offered about a wiki type of user created manual that users could add too as necessary. A new one could be started with each new version is released. I would think this would be less time consuming for the devs in that they would just need to periodically review it to correct/remove any incorrect info. I could be wrong about that not having ever managed anything like that myself but that's how it seems it would work best.


At the end of the day, this thread is a friendly conversation/debate about the inclusion or exclusion of an OOTP25 manual and I appreciate that most of us have not let themselves get too spun-up about it.
Totally agree it has been a civil discussion.

I'd like if they had a fully up to date manual even though most years I don't even open it. If a customer buys a game a manual (how detailed there will be disagreements on) should be included.
