I just wanted to help make it possible for Chris to attempt to make this game. I grew up playing the wing commander games as well as freelancer so I am fanboi. Its ok im cool with that I freely admit I am. Im also a huge Richard Garriott fan from playing many of the Ultima games so ill probably even buy into his game Shroud of the Avatar. But also on a bigger level I like it that if they succeed it also opens hopefully stronger bonds of the players directly to the design studios by way of direct support and perhaps the big publishing houses will give the guys who make our games more respect and latitude in there creative process. Good luck SC and NA I say and tell Blizzard, EA and all the other big guys to stick it where the sun don't shine us the gamers we got your backs.
