We felt we could not offer a viable package for SH4 that would not be
over shadowed by the release of SH5.
We were wrong in the secondary reason, Yes.
But not the Primary reason!

GWX Members suffered personnal problems for the sake of a Game.
For what?
Not a one of the Team ever saw a dime.
Many gave up not only free time,
they changed thier business to apply more time to SH issues.

So don't refer to the choice to terminate the project a fail!
It may prove to be the vacation needed!
DAMN...I cant believe ANYONE would bash the GWX team for calling it quits. HELLO...they did GWX FOR FREE!! I think they are entitled to call it quits whenever they want.

Privateer... Im alwasy in awe over what the GWX team did..even today! The fact GWX even came into being, as amazing as it was ...with NO ACCESS TO THE SOUCE CODE was just astounding.

Sure I wish GWX 4 would have continued...but I think MANY of us here were surprised to see the GWX team even try and tackle SH4 after the lenghty process GWX 3.0 was.
