WOW
You bring up some good points on Strike Fighters Weasy, here's my take:
I've seen several player of several different games be effected by a new games release date. The colder it is, the more people tend to find indoor activites. I think this will hurt Lomac to some degree, depending on how late in the Spring they tend to release it. Your casual newbies may hold off on the sim to buy a new Moutain Bike.
Strike Fighters, however, needs to get the gold out before Xmas. And from what I'm hearing, this is exactly what TK and the rest are working so diligently to do. Hat's off to everyone that's working so hard to make this game suceed.
As for the click-pits, don't worry, LOMAC will not have them.
