On the latest issue of the Escapist there’s a letter from Brother None, administrator at No Mutants Allowed:
 
As for “the industry has moved on,” it has and it hasn’t. It’s not that much different. For instance, Cain once said about Fallout’s combat: “It also showed how popular and fun turn-based combat could be, when everyone [...]

In the same topic as before Lindsay “ShiftyEyedDog” Muller from marketing had to post this disclaimer:
