In my opinion this would have occurred already if not for the outcry we made when the news that Markus had joined SI was first announced.

Markus has started work on a feature list, which includes new features and improvements on previous OOTP versions. Do you think that if we wanted to give the illusion this was a totally new game we'd do that. Of course not, since you are all so important to the success of the game, you need to know what the new features are over and above what you have purchased in the past.not sure how this paragraph addresses anything I posted, but I agree 100% with it's sentiment

The magazine issue is probably never going to suit, we have requirements for the printed press and having our own magazine suits us. AS I tried to explain, we do our best to get exclusive shots and the like to the site.I understand where you are coming from. I don't recall how much advance warning we received about the article. I seem to only recall other board members posting about it. If there wasn't one, then perhaps an official post about it from Markus or yourself would have been in order?!?

I'm not trying to be a pain in the rear, but I do think it's important I express my opinion of the situation. Hopefully it will help with future communications and press releases.
