After 26 months of work, the time of release has finally come

Thanks to everyone involved, it was a pleasure working with you!!

OK, the OOTP team is now having a drink... or 20...

Enjoy the game, guys!

Thanks Markus, your game gives me hours and hours of enjoyment every year

My wife, on the other hand, seems to have a slightly different point of view

LeiterFanatic · 05-31-2006, 11:25 AM

I have to say, honestly, that I am waiting and seeing before ordering, but I will get it eventually, I am sure. But this Road to release has been one of the most fun and interesting "events" I have ever been part of, especially for a computer game. You guys are to be congratulated for really making the community feel part of something and cheers to the whole team, especially Marc Duffy, who had to come in from SI and work hard to earn people's trust.

Here's mud in your eye, Markus!

Thank you!

I can second both of those statements.

Thank you to Markus, Marc, the beta testers, and everyone else behind the scenes for all your hard work, and for making the OOTP series the best there is. You guys are awesome.

Anyone got their email yet? I haven't.

Good bye summer, good bye wife, good bye work, good bye real world...

CalvinHobbes · 05-31-2006, 11:32 AM

Mine came at 8:23 MT. It's prolly a bit late due to vagaries of the internet.

Anticipation of this release has almost surpassed my anticipation of the real Opening Day. And just like baseball's union strikes, the 18-month wait for launch, was just as painful.

It's almost like real baseball is played only so I can get new stats to download into OOTP.

What a great game when it almost surpasses the real thing.

Marlinfan · 05-31-2006, 11:55 AM

Thanks Markus, you deserve a beer or 2

JWay · 05-31-2006, 11:56 AM

woot!

I agree completely. Nothing is more immersive than this game. Danke sehr, Markus!
