I'm still interested--unfortunately we don't have as many members here right now, since the forums have been gone for such a long time. Not everyone knows we're back, as far as I can tell.
Allowing the game to be released doesn't really benefit LEGO in any way, at least not money-wise. But are there any disadvantages? If the unfinished game is distributed for free by someone outside LEGO, is it somehow detrimental to the company?
