Battlefield 1942 != Yugo
The title pretty much says it all.
The BF1942 announcement ties in with a post I made several months ago. When I first started at Aspyr, I went over to CompUSA to pick up PC versions of the upcoming titles that we had on our slate, namely Medal of Honor: Breakthrough (plus the first 2 games), Call of Duty and Battlefield 1942 and its first expansion, plus a few strategy guides to help limit my suffering. The cashier probably thought I was socially maladjusted.
As it happens, I ended up spending close to $250 on WW2 shooters for the PC in one fell swoop. I hope I never do that again. :-) Of course, for all I know, I'll be dropping $250 on Vietnam-themed shooters this October, given that it seems to be the current "fad" in PC games. Of all the game genres, war-themed shooters are easily my least favorite; I just can't get into them at all. It doesn't help that I've worked on 3 Quake 3 titles back-to-back since joining Aspyr. Thankfully I didn't have much to do on Call of Duty, that was mostly Duane's work. Hopefully "Yugo" will keep me from totally burning out.

So.....
Does this mean I get a free game? =)
Or at least please tell us how you got "Yugo"

As my wife pointed out to me, the subject line isn't clear. It's programmer talk for "not equals".
Put another way, Battlefield 1942 is not "Yugo."
