I agree with everything anyone said positively about Lorne Lanning. This guy is a genius, and we should be thankful that he used his brilliance in such a way that gave birth to the Oddworld Quintology. Whenever someone badmouths Lorne, it angers me and other fans because Lorne Lanning showed us his vision through grace - he didn't have to share it with us. Anyone who didn't like the decision to move to the Xbox: just accept it. Oddworld Inhabitants were clear in that moving to the Xbox meant less of a compromise for their vision. Just accept it, it is their series after all.
I will admit that initially I wasn't pleased with Xbox exclusivity, as I planned just to get a PS2. But once you understand the reasons behind choices, it isn't bad and you end up in agreement with the decisions.
