I, for one, am willing to give the guy a chance to make a game. IT MIGHT SUCK. IT MIGHT BE MEDIOCRE. In fact, we could say the chances of a new Ultima being "very good" is in the 5-10% range (I'm being generous).
THAT SAID, I am willing to give the guy a chance. HELL KNOWS I DON'T TRUST ANYONE ELSE.
Whiners can whine.
Whingers can whinge.
I don't need ground-breaking innovation. I really don't.
I just want a solid, single-player game that is WORTHY of the Ultima legacy. I may get it.
I am willing to give the guy a chance.
NOTE: Many other projects to update/add an installment to a series (kickstarter, commercial, otherwise) don't inspire confidence in me (sometimes because of the development team--a point Professor P. raised--but also the desire to "modernize" old properties... something that is exceptionally hard to do without pissing off old-skool fans).
