That is a very plausible reason for them to do this. That, combined to the fact that this may be Project Aces last chance to make another Ace Combat. All the criticism of Assault Horizon was very damaging for the game. New fans were made but a lot of older fans went away from this game. I'd like to see another Ace Combat in the future, but it all hinges on the success of Infinity and the publicity that follows along with it. I honestly didn't think Assault Horizon was that bad. Sure the DFM got in the way of actual dogfights but it was a "rebirth" of the series. I admire that they would mix it up a bit, but, to a percentage of the fans, they did it the wrong way.
