Prog and Bennie.FM, I anticipated replies such as yours. Such pessimism is unfortunately warranted. I also did expect for a number of people to respond enthusiastically, though I realized that those responses would represent an idealism that doesn't actually accomplish anything. I'm sure that would have been the case had these forums been more active.
It is a frustrating reality that good games like Battle Tanks get relegated with no real chance to get the development and exposure that they 'deserve', while so many crappy games get cranked-out by companies hopeful for a profit.
I think it is possible that at some point in future some company will have the good sense to develop a new game based on BT. They'll figure out a way to monetize the development so that it doesn't rely on a select few sacrificing their lives for little to no gain. Just like the movie industry looks to existing franchises for series reboots, etc, I think some game development company will recognize BT as a proven concept worthy of revival.
That is my hope, anyway.
