Yep, that was the plan back then. And, as with anything in business, plans change as the market and consumer demands change. Since then, the data file team (a completely separate team) has been focused on a long list of projects. There have been new game systems we've introduced over the past five years, as well as major new features within HL that entailed substantial data file investment. Those new elements were prioritized higher than support for BRP due to there being a vastly higher perceived demand for those other elements compared to BRP.
A major new RPG like Genesys is exactly as I characterized it: "a perfectly valid request". Your post dismissed the game out of hand, apparently based on our choosing to focus on other options over a niche add-on that we wanted to add but that lacked significant user demand. And that's where I pointed out the difference.
Exactly how Genesys would get prioritized depends substantively on the perceived demand for it. At this juncture, users expressing their desire for the game system is absolutely the appropriate next step. That data can then be used by both us and Fantasy Flight to make an informed assessment.
User REQUESTS are ALWAYS appropriate. They give us valuable insight that helps us prioritize the allocation of our limited resources. That's the bottom line here.
Hope this helps!
