Why does it suck?  Don't Activision and FASA have the right to maintain
exclusivity of their intellectual property if they choose to?  They and
their staffs did spend a lot of time, energy, money, and creative juice on
this game. They've already announced their intention to market add-ons
that include new campaigns, new mechs and weapons, and a mission builder.
Why does it suck that they get to do this instead of you?
