I haven't actually "played" OOTP in probably 4 years, but I keep buying it. Most of that is just wanting to support their work, because back when I played it really hard, it was exactly what I wanted out of a career baseball sim.
And, frankly, I want it to still be there for people just now discovering text sims. Maybe when I retire, I'll fire up OOTP 40 and fall in love with text sims all over again.
ETA: Just to clarify, I do install it and fire it up for a couple of hours every year just to look at the new coat of paint and some of the new features. Some of that seems really cool. I just don't have the attention span to throw at long, ongoing careers any longer. I suspect the success of the Red Sox in recent years has blunted some of my need to scratch that World Series itch in a fantasy universe.
