Yeah. You've pretty much closed the doors on what could have been a great developper. He was really into this and was really helpful to people. He put a lot of ideas out there, votes up for what people wanted, etc. And your wanting him to put games out there like 1, 2, 3? Wow. I could have waited another year for raceway as long as he got it done. I just can't express my feelings well enough on this list.
