And similarly, all 4 of these are not the real deal. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for more games like this and I hope they're good, but I will wait until Kurvitz and Rostov to be at the helm again before getting too excited.

If nothing else though, Argo Tuulik's blog post for Summer Eternal is worth a read. I love his writing style, and that post is unreasonably funny to me, but you can still tell there is a lot of meaning behind what he says. I suppose things hit hardest when presented in ridiculous over the top metaphor.

Oh yeah, for sure. Don't get me wrong, I hope these are good. I liked John Henry Irons, Superboy, and Eradicator as well, lol. Just not the original, and need to be able to stand on their own. I desperately want more games like DE but what I don't want is a bunch of bad actors churning out bad clones sold on someone else's good reputation. Not that I'm accusing any of these games of that, just that given ZA/UM's current situation, it's hard not to worry.
