While I agree with this sentiment, I think long-time and die-hard fans of Jagged Alliance 2 will never be pleased with what is released. There have been too many empty and broken promises in the past. To me, this effort seems to be another repeat. I hope I am wrong, but the very long period of silence prior to finally releasing a dev diary entry cast a long shadow. Old fans who were interested moved on and younger gamers have no inherent interest in a remake of an ancient game.
That's a bleak assessment. I'll retreat back to my dark corner.
