Aside from the ad-hominem attacks, this has been an interesting discussion. Mr Dei made some cogent points in his original posts, but I think his first point about ITP is weak at best.
If you go by the premise that the "core business" of this company is sports simulations rather than one game called OOTP then you can see where a game like ITP makes sense. Mr Dei certainly is entitled to his opinion, but I would guess that Markus et. al. would not agree with the characterization that OOTP is their "core business". Perhaps at one time it was, but I am pretty sure they would like to move beyond that one program.
Further, unless Mr Dei is privvy to sales records from the company, I doubt he can support his claim that ITP is costing the company customers and customer loyalty. He's still here and I see no evidence that anyone is giving up OOTP just because v6 is a bit fubared. In addition, there are certainly going to be some new customers generated by ITP that perhaps will then buy OOTP. I see no reason to assume customers are leaving, though clearly many are unhappy with some things.
I wonder why I assume Malleus Dei is a he? Hrm...
