Players dropping out are a regrettable fact of life. But unlike multi player team games, single player DGs can at least be revived. In fact the last few have been finished after extended periods of dormancy. That is what I tried to do with the current game but ended up driving it into the ground. The prospect of certain failure has, I think, negatively affected recruiting possibilities at this point. That’s why I am gauging the level of interest in a new game now.
