Pardon my ignorance, but why has that time passed? For that matter, what do we know about PM's internal creative direction? Is there anyone here who has insight?

Macruran:
The current state of PM has been a topic of discussion here for a couple years now, there are several threads about it including some with contributions from a former PM employee. There are also many news articles about what's been happening to the company since Horst died. TL;DR: it's in a death spiral. There's little tradition or imagination left, and we will never see a great cultural theme like e.g. Romans or Victorians again because PM is no longer the same company it was when it produced those themes.

I myself would LOVE a Japanese theme, or any accurate cultural theme.

Alex4420:
Appreciate the explanation. I have read a little, perhaps the recent management change just might take some time to take effect. I can't imagine they want to kill a business making that much money... I hope.

Frankly this just gives impetus to what I've been doing, which is sourcing and buying older PM. I want to preserve it for my grandkids, in the event PM doesn't make it another five or so years. And if no grandkids happen? Well, I'll have one hell of a time playing with my toys 😆

Macruran:
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Pynedor:
I also think this would be fantastic! I too think that it is quite unlikely with how things have been going though. :-\
