What is the status of Eric’s response to your beta support request? We’re hoping you have something encouraging to report.

Regards

In other words Eric's reply is: See Steel TIgers. Same verbage. That one has been on the back burner for such a long time the fire has gone out, the gas line has been disconnected and the house it was in has been torn down.

I don't think anybody has even coded anything on Steel Tigers yet. TOAW is ready for beta testing now (although maybe delaying till the legacy bugs are finished makes sense now).

I hope you're right. It would be a shame to see all of that time you spent going for naught.

Eric’s response was three months ago and no activity since; no encouragement there. It’s time for you to be proactive and get a firm date for beta release.
Possibly Matrix has little interest because they can’t monetize a TOAW IV patch. Maybe it’s time for them to consider selling the patch as a new TOAW V game. Of course, registered TOAW IV users would get a discount.
