I appreciate the sentiment Mike and I understand the 1.2 improved certain
aspects of the game I still feel that it wouldn't be very long before I dropped
it so I would rather put the money where it makes me money. Just being frugal in
a world of excess. I didn't mention the fact that it caused more system locks
and crashes in a week than I have had in a year, and when I uninstalled it I
lost all my sound. Very fixable but just another reason to say no thanks.
