I just heard of it now....and to be frank; I am worried.
History proves time and time again that rules / norms first bend and then break where money is involved.
It is my sincere hope that the creators of MGE realize and remember what made them popular in the first place, and strive to keep their core principles intact....even if that means alienating would-be fans that would attempt to have the founding principles of MGE be compromised for the sake of money.
