Yeah, but it takes a person to do that. You have to pay this person. Then you have to take this person away from other work, that is probably going to make you money, and have them work on PXO, which isn't making anyone any money. It costs money to run PXO. It costs someone's time. I realize that ...

Volition is not lying. Well, I'm not sure I buy the server is damaged thing, but don't really expect PXO to come back. V has not had the resources to manage PXO in a long time. We pretty much just made sure it was up, and that was it.
