Also a sequel would likly not be a brand new game. more like an expansion pack using the same graphics engine and reusing textures, it would cost much less to develop and produce than BoP.

Battlestations -midway had a sequel and that couldn't have sold any better than BoP.
see this is what f505ks me off...they cancel patch to maintain profit when the patch should have been released to comply with trades description...i.e. flightstick compatible.
