Hi Charles, Yes if Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, shows a gymnasium, gift shop or museum of Magic on the sixth floor, I would scrap the House Elf sleeping quarters, or more likely put it near the kitchen. With the GMA game engine I can make patches to current versions or put up new versions as long as the version number starts with 1 without forcing people to get new registration keys. That would make David Greenwood's life easier as he is Keeper of the Keys. So I could update the game and call it version 1.1 with no one having to get new keys, but if I decide the update will be substantially different or take over a year I could call it version 2.0 and then require people to buy new keys. If Jo Rowling loves my game so much she gets Electronic Arts to work with me to produce a blind friendly version of Sarah but with all their authentic sound effects and graphics, or if she wants the game to be ported to the Wii game machine which would require you to learn real wand movements, then I should be able to charge a small update fee. smiles, just dreaming about JK Rowling learning about my game and liking it. Phil

As far as the cost to the consumer, that's up to the developer. _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
