I suspect this is really about needing the votes at Steam to get past the stage at the beginning of April when Hitech "decided" to put a version on Steam. As I pointed out in my first response, this post is a Catch-22. If we want to see what will happen at Steam, Hitech needs a group he is pretty sure will up vote AH3, to vote for it at Steam. These kinds of things have unintended consequence without something already in place to address them. Hence my concern for the community who will never come in here but, are prey to gossip on 200 and range. And I can think of a number of players who enjoy stirring that pot any way they can just to screw with the MA.
Change for the sake of change is not a foundation to build anything upon no matter how strong the tingle running up your leg gets over it. This is not a bad idea to increase the community numbers, I applaud the decision and the potential. How this can go wonky "innocently" during prime time USA time in the MA is something to be a bit concerned for and the borg fingers in the ears attitude here in the forum. Getting happy has a side effect of hearing only what keeps you happy.
