i was replying to peaceniks comment that you quoted in your post.
While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.
Developers form and disband like rock bands. The talent never goes away, and in fact, it's a good thing, because you get different combinations all the time. For a while, you had the combo of Sid Meier and Brian Reynolds - they've "split" and now they get to work with new partners.
I won't buy it to support a corporation but I'd throw fifty bucks down to support the genre.
IMHO that sends exactly the _wrong_ message. If developers get away with bad games, the games get worse and worse until nothing is left of the genre except rip-offs. Rather grin and bear a dry period, while you hold back the money for the monster title which revives the genre. Would Baldur's Gate have happened if crappy RPGs sold enough copies?
Supporting the genre doesn't necessarily mean supporting bad games. I've spent money on average games for genres I enjoy because sometimes these games have new ideas that will work in a better implementation. This goes for anything; books, games, movies. And I agree, supporting bad games sends the wrong message to publishers and developers alike. I just don't believe this will be the case this time. Would Balder's Gate have been made if we hadn't invested all our money over the years in crappy TSR D&D games?
