I have a lot of very negative things to say about the new game. I won't say them here.
In fact I feel like im grieving the loss of a series that I love.
I won't be so damn negative though; there is some silver lining. One that, it might funnel more casual users, who could potentially have modding talent, into Em4/5
Another one is that 16T is starting to re-establish communications with the community. We as a community could push for the "opening" of Em2012/13 to modding, so that we can have 90% of Em4 as a game but with updated graphics.
We will see what the future holds.
At least we still have the current titles.
