 The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom caught GM Enierga writing:
: >It's amazing how people continue to jump to conclusions when they haven't
: >seen the game, especially when all the information they've released about
: >the game so far indicates that it very well may not be that way... 
: 	Oh come on.  How many times has Origin let us down?  Strike Commander,

what's wrong with Strike Commander??  'twas one of the best games ever 
done by anyone!  and 'twas completely bug-free!

: Privateer, WC-Armada, PACIFIC STRIKE... based on that track record, and

what's wrong with Privateer?  admitedly it isn't in the same league as 
Wing Commander, but what's so wrong with it?

: considering that 3 out of those 4 have been Origin in-house's latest releases
: ... need I say more?  Though you are correct in never judging a book by its
: cover, can you honestly believe Origin's hype anymore?

I still believe in them... I suspect a lot of people here are willing to 
believe what is posted on the net rather than trying it out themselves.  
I haven't played Armada or Pacific Strike yet, and for the latter, 
despite the universal (seeming) feeling against it, I *will* still play 
it to see for myself :)
