Hi Scott, All good points. The only reason I was tossing this offer out there was to see how people felt about it. I know there is a lot of anxiety over Justin leaving. People worried if their games are compatible with Windows 8, people wondering what will happen if they can't afford the key generator and their keys run out, and so on. I was merely seeing how many people were interested having those issues solved, or would be willing to just let go and move on. :D
