Therefore, most probably they do know if they plan to add features that will stress today's systems, or more specific, they know that they won't be adding technology that might come in the next 1 or 2 years, since they already have lots to get from today's technology.
So, what I kindly request is a reassurance that there are no plans of changing the game engine that much so that in 3 years we're going to need a brand new system or a major upgrade.
And this is a consideration of many people who don't have huge budget available for this game.
I hope now is clearer to you sir. Thank you!

I understand that part of your question, it's just all very esoteric is all. I understand you want to run the game as best you can, but it's going to be hard for them to give accurate advice (especially advice that's going to cost you a few hundred/thousand dollars) at this point. If that advice is somehow inaccurate and it's directly influenced a purchase of a brand new gaming rig...that blame will surely be directed at them. Features that are dropped developers get flamed for so if they say something to influence a $900 upgrade they'll get flamed for sure.
They're not going to redesign the entire engine in 3 years most likely, they'll continue to improve it over time and most likely add accents that help with the ageing process. Optimization and FPS tweaks will come as well so it will be a gradual process as it has been in the past with most sims. High system specs hurt sales, so ultimately it's in their best interests to work within the medium.
Anyway that's my common sense, again I'm sorry if I sounded disrespectful...I of course have NO idea what they're planning heheh.
I have always found it best to make big money making decisions around my own preferences rather than what people tell me I guess. :cool:
