	I have.  I think it's every bit as good as the Rogue or WC series.
In fact, I like it better because it takes more brain power to solve.  In
WC for example you are led through the entire story.  The outcome is based
on how many kitty cats you kill.  Same as Star Wars games.  The outcome is
based on how many Imperial ships (Xwing) or Rebels (Tie) you kill.  Privateer
needs you to think about your next move because in many instances you are
left very little clue as to where to go next.  Remember when I said it would
be too much to expect full speech and I gave my reasons for it?  Perhaps you
are expecting too much from this department also, or perhaps something
different.  I stand by my previous statements.

	Yeah but unequivocally saying that Origin failed because you did not
like some of their recent releases while many others out there did...  That's
one of my points of this whole debate, Mr. Enierga.
