that's what i suspect i have to say--they have been draining us dry with never ending graphics card up-grades--now the graphics side has sort of reached a plateaux--they are fishing around for other ways to fleece us dry---sooner or later as you say we will be paying huge amounts of money to have AI that won't actually be any better than the destroyers in AOTD or the soldiers in Half Life 1--
i like the idea- but just don't think they're doing it to gives us better gameplay---better gameplay is cheap and easy and can be run on a PII 300mghz with 16 mb of graphics ram-- it's like the guy who steals your garden furniture then runs round the front of the house knocks on your door and sells it back to you at a vastly inflated price --then moans at all the problems he had carting the bench fron the back of your house to the front--and demands a tip--
