RE: Matrix and the new stuff ie CD2 by the Blitz members.
I don't mean to bust Bevards work. I think he would be very capable of improving his scns and he has set some designing standards in the past(that are now surpassed though). Moreover he probably had to deliver a lot of designs in a short time for Talonsoft, while I sometimes need more than a year to produce a single scenario. I do think however the time (and money, sometimes 100s of $) invested in a scn design shows in the final result.
To get back to the original subject of this thread:
I don't see a reason for spending money on something I already have. Business wise it would seem more clever to come up with something new and more attractive and of better quality I would think.
I never had directx or compatability problems since the game came out... so why buy?
I started designing because the stock scns were so bad (and not doing justice to history) and Don Fox's scns were so good, I would be crazy to pay again for something I find mediocre/bad, unless my current cd will not be compatable anymore.... then I'm forced to buy or leave....
