Nice idea etc etc ( I've signed it)
But as the harbinger of doom that I usually am - seems to me that Papy have
been reduced to Sierra's Nascar-making-cash-whore - someone mentioned their
next Nascar title is already in development - I have zero faith in them
anymore. 3 Nascar titles within 24 months to me stinks of EA tactics and
demonstrates the short attention span narrow minded american market's lack
of imagination.

Lol Doug... you really are Dr. Gloom.
I think this petition is remarkable whether it accomplishes anything or not.
Read the comments... 3800+ are still enjoying GPL. It has become a goodwill
ambassador for Sierra-Papyrus.

will see any GPL or CART type games from them again.

Is it really? MTM2 has
100 people playing at zone.com right now and that game is four years old and
has had two sequels by TRi with Evo and Evo2.

That's pretty amazing too, I just didn't happen to know about it and it's
even more off topic to the thread. Does every message have to contain a
yardstick to put it into context by?

Sierra couldnt care how many are 'still' playing GPL
They just want people to buy their new products - and will keep demanding
Papy make the most profitable product sierra could ask for - i.e. Spazcar

There's profit, then there's PR. Nascar titles may be popular, and many are
good, but gpl is a PR product, since it helps give Papyrus/Sierra a
"pedigree".
Would Subaru's be so desirable if they had never 'wasted' money on racing?

I agree with Douglas on this one, fwiw. Sierra could care less about GPL
following, etc; I think it's obvious, if they were impressed, there would
have been another open-wheel sim from them in the past four years.

I think it's pretty interesting discussion, but I definitely agree that the
petition is worth signing. There's nothing to lose by signing, and
potentially something worthwhile could come out of it.
I signed the Futurama one too!
Malc.
Definately already did that Ed; first day the notice went out <G> Number
662 or so.
