If they are out of money now, they are not going to deliver a product in any kind of good shape." I'm not sure there's enough miracles for this not to be an accurate assessment. NDA aside, the game isn't good. I wish it was, I really do. That IP is ripe for an open-ended (yet familiar) landscape to putz around in to your hearts content fighting wave after wave of hilarious bad (good) guys. :sigh: “Not gonna happen Dan.
