Yes, I fully agree, it seems to me they are listening to the publisher's demands too much. First SeaDogs 2 acquires a licence and becomes the watered down POTC then Swashbucklers "Legacy of Drake" is completely changed into the fantasy style "blue vs grey" Civil war action game which seems very similar in style to Atari's own Sid Meier's Pirates and then PT Boats evolves from a straight sim to a strategy game with sim elements. They no longer seem to be able to set a project plan and stick to it. The result being often detrimental to the finished product.

Lets keep our fingers, toes and any other bodily extremities crossed that, the now four years in development, PT boats plays as well as it looks!
