Oh god it would split the community, like how Counter Strike Source split the community and people played on Counter Strike 1.6 and Counter Strike Source. That is a terrible idea.
Yeah and CS is still split today. Many people still play 1.6, many people still play source and many people play CS GO. Its not a terrible idea at all, the sims is split as well many people still play 1, 2, 3, 4. Even Unreal tournament is split, people still play 99, 04 and 3. So is quake, So is mario kart, so is Super smash bros brawl and super smash bros, so is pokemon. Its not a terrible idea at all
