That sounds good, and I generally LIKE activision games, but they have
one of the worst track records in the game industry for putting out
buggy products and then not ever fixing them properly. For instance,
there are still a large number of outstanding issues with HG1. Some
people might wonder why they can find programmers to work on a sequel
when the original is still nearly unplayable.

Developers don't make this kind of decision, so unless Activision has
replaced senior management I think the past pattern will continue.
