   Belisarius,

   I'm new to this forum, and so I had a question for you, since you respond so quickly to people in the forum.

   Are you, or any staff members on this forum, in a position to pass ideas along to the guys that make decisions regarding releases? I ask because things like digital-only releases for the PC have very little development overhead, and very high sales performance, but if the higher-ups don't hear the idea, nothing will ever get done about it.

   In the first month of release, SFIV PC sold over 40,000 copies at 40 bucks a pop. That's more than 1.5 million in sales for a game they'd already finished months before. Their online solution prevents piracy, and they made even more money for downloadable content. This can't be a bad idea.

   Let me know if anyone's in a position to convey ideas, or if I'm just talking to myself ;)

   Kalean,

   A number of the people who make the decisions to which you refer do read this forum, and I do my best to pass things along that are mentioned here.

   Unfortunately, exactly what the factors are in making these decisions is not always something myself, or my compatriots, are at liberty to discuss. Which, I am well aware, sucks, since it bugs me just as much when other companies (companies from which I purchase things) make seemingly bizarre decisions.

   What I can tell you is that your requests and suggestions do not fall on deaf ears. We do our best to give our fans what they want, and we won't know what that is unless we listen to you. So feel free to make all the suggestions you like, and while you may not receive immediate confirmation that they will be done, know that we have taken them into consideration.

   Data, data, data. I cannot make bricks without clay.
   
   Alles andere ist käse.
   
   And in case there is any confusion, yes, I do work for Aksys. If you have a questions, or care to verify my identity, you can e-mail me by putting my username in front of @aksysgames.com.

   Belisarius,

   I have a vague understanding of how it can be to be unable to discuss company information. Your response is comforting, though. I am glad to hear that the thoughts of fans do not fall on deaf ears. I still hope for a PC blazblue though... Bang is the man.
