Code can still save the Hobbit if JJP pull their finger out. DI is fun but the theme is not worth 10k.

Quoted from RTS:Code can definitely improve Hobbit, but I'm not convinced it can "save" it. Maybe, but I prefer not having to wait and hope.
Jack had previously stated that TH was mostly done. TH production didn't last nearly as long as Woz before production started on their next game. A great game that depends on improved code is not an endorsement of a great game.
I thought a standard DI was $8k. I'd rather pay for a fun game with a good layout and rules than a good theme.
It can save it but it depends what it's saving for you personally. If you don't like the layout/theme etc. then I agree its not going to make much difference. I like the game as does my family, decent code would make the difference between keeping it and getting rid.
The thing it can definitely save is JJP's customer's trust. As a company they have to prove they are supporting their products fully. Of all the hobbit dev issues code was the last thing i was worried about. Now i can't even think about the next machine as who knows what can happen. A little bit more communication on their part would work wonders...
