If, for example, they lose $5.00 for every license and for example, 10,000 copies, they would lose $50,000 dollars. Now, they need to sell almost 3,400 hundred copies of "OOTP 8.5" just to break even with those 10,000. Is that really a smart business move?
And if it would have been released as I proposed, OOTP 8 wouldn't even need licensing, since only OOTP 2007 owners would get it, and no money would need to change hands. So that issue would be negated.
