I understand where you're coming from, in a way. 99% of the hardcores thought that the "The sun... your son" idea from ACB was going to play over into futue games. Then Darby clarified that that was only a prediction of an alternate future. That to me, imo, is lazy writing (I'm presuming Corey May, seeing as he's THE lead writer). Leading dedicated fans on like that, only to drop it and not make a big deal of it is sloppy to say the least. Darby even said that, "It was never as important as fans made it out to be". He based that off hard figures that apparently say that 90% are CASUAL PLAYERS. So their philosophy is basically: profit first, quality second. And any "fan" who justifies that is a fanboy who doesn't care about game design ethics. Peope will probably disagree with me, but that's what I believe.
