Actually David, I now fear, that with Aaron going to SF, what happens to every other game on the market will happen to SEV
Aaron is pushed into releasing before its ready
Truth be told, both SEIV and Starfury were released before they were really ready to be released... Both of them had big bugs lurking about and that were not yet fixed, as well as some lacking features. Certainly, they were patched within a few months, but still...

To echo the sentiments of some other people:

A: Calm down, wait and see. We can all predict the possible possibilities, but life has a strange way of defying prediction.
B: Did anyone else notice the "over 1 million demo downloads" for SEIV!??! Thats huge! I wonder what percentage of that actually bought the game.
C: I'm in agony! Can I afford to buy another copy on the budget of a 17 year old?

Well, I'm surprised. But I’m also sure that Mr. Hall is doing what he thinks is best for his business. After all, I’m quite sure that he does this for money, not the grief we tend to lay on him. And I wish him the best of success with his release of SE5.

As to the company he chose, only time will tell. But past history would say “Don’t spend the money till the check clears the bank.” We can only hope that the game is a big hit and everyone gets rich

edit: fixed typos.

Why thank you, I certainly am doing what I think is best for...oh wait...you mean the other Mr. Hall! I always knew having the same last name as the developer of SE series would cause me problems.

Hmmm...maybe we are related...nah, I highly doubt it as I have no family from CA.

I kinda suspected this for a while now...
Hopefully everything will work out.

My question is when we can expect SF to make an announcement...
