I mean, it's a fine comment - it just leaves us a *little* unsure of the precise meaning it was intended to have. :-)<< I think my whole point is just that a decision not to release a game in a plain-style format is a commercial one. Both options have pros and cons. Companies going for the text-file option will appeal to players who like to write programs and play around with stuff. But some companies may feel they dont want their turns 'played about with'.
