Not to jump on you, but how do you know the intent of G14 was to "encourage coopertition"? Is scoring on yourself an example of "coopertition"? Who considers it so? Does anyone?
All assumptions about the intent of the 2009 and 2010 season aside, I'd bet any amount of money that the GDC is fully aware that many did not like G14. I mean, I heard there were some GDC members at the IRI talent show...

When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more]
