This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Yeah Saints Theft Row Andreas.....

Saw an advert on the TV tonight, even thought it was running on the GTA Engine at first, it's that similar.

Tell them to wake up from their corporate dreams and stop following public trends like flies discovering $hit! (okay, take a deep breath...it's all going to be fine....*stop hysterical shouting*)

I just want FS3...*sniff*....at least I still have FSO. :(

Well FS1 and 2 weren't exactly original. They were simply the best.

The news, eh?  As in, the TV news?

They do, in fact.  All three of them.  Check the staff page on their website.

They didn't make that much money out of the best space sim.

Yes because thats what keeps a company afloat... ignoring public trends...

I always thought making good products is what keeps a company afloat. When Bioware made Baldur's Gate it certainly isn't in the public trend (same is not true for FS, but that's not my point). Following public trends only helps so much in the beginning. If the game sucks, it will fail. Unless it's in the legendary level like Big Rigs.

Not saying Saints Row or other Volition games suck BTW. In fact, from what I've read, they are pretty "descent".

Simply because no-one could buy it.Why there are only a few Italians? Why there are many fans from Poland?
The distribution s****d.I had even to buy the game from eBay from another Italian.

A financial failure...of course!If only American and English citizens could have the possibility to buy it....

And no advertising.
I would buy it when it was released as well as FS1(they're computer games and difficult to find,I prefer PlayStation ones),'cause of this stupid reasons I couldn't.

At this time,we would probably play with FS4<Is it the first time someone says FS4?>.

But I still hope there will be a FS3.Take Prince Of Persia for example...it had a sequel after how many years?When someone will make the proposal for a new game in THQ,V should choice a FS3,maybe working in tandem with the SCP(dividing money,cough cough).

Hey,wait!With all this money we could pay our host for years!
