I'm pretty sure Bob is completely insane. Not the way Craig is insane and saw things through despite the difficulties, I mean in the "snap my fingers and fairies will solve all the problems if I just believe hard enough" kind of way. From what I can tell he had a great game just as the indie market was really starting to take off. He could have made a lot of money if he'd just released his Gor danged game! If he ever does get an nD built at the cost he is looking for, there's no way he'll get it sold in stores the way he needs it to: it'll be internet sales just like everything else.
Considering the complete lack of movement in the last 6 months, from a person who complained about transparency especially, I think it's safe to say that the nD is not going to see the light of day.
