DW is showing its age. It's rearing its ugly graphics.

Which brings me to the second point, when you're going to sell something to someone make sure you give him what he wants (at least in part). Bringing a game with a 10 years old graphics engine was not a good decision. Say what you want, but the first thing to hook people to games is "eye candy".
Once you have them on the hook, you can go on saying how realisitic the simulator is etc, etc, etc... but until that point you have got to do everything in your power to excite new players.

These are both good points, but they're in opposition to each other. If you use graphics as a hook, then the people you bring in are exactly the people who just don't get it. And then you get even more reviews like the one we got on Attack of the Show or whatever the hell that was.
