My underlying question is why make Pirates when there is one already out there? It appears to me it was an ego thing against Gary. I like both pirates but I am content paying 4700 for a stern and having just as enjoyable of a game experience. I think JJPOTC was just a bad call to begin with. I truly hope JJP isnt in financial trouble as I am looking forward to seeing what is next. My recommendation - they need to hire some people away from Stern who can help design and make these more quickly and efficiently.
