Also, as I stated in bold-text:"while ANY exposure is good exposure..."; I am unsure why you felt the need to re-state the matter in your reply as: "it's another useful chunk of gamers who might never have heard of TFT but may now be interested in checking out a reboot."

That's a given, which was essentially stated as such in the original post.

However, perhaps you are right - that in the end, it really is not that big a deal in the grand-scheme of things; but you know Chris, when your are dedicated and passionate about something which is so near and dear to your heart, and you see it handled publicly in such a blatantly careless and misinformed way by a person who can't even respect the thing enough to get our basic terms, concepts, and history correct - it's insulting and it hurts.

I trust you can relate to that.

CHRIS, thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify further.

JK

No problem Jim. If we can't rant here where can we!

You have cool titles, though...
