I don't f*cking care, I just want to play the game in its full context!
Who cares how the market will be, how it will compete with others and things. You being a gamer just need to know if you like the game and knowing more about its content, not sh*t as Marketing and Competition. It's like wanting to know something that you'll never exactly know, so give it a break.
For other questions... it's more like you're asking "How will you do the internets?", questions without a precise answer. Most of those questions can be answered by us players at debt time, so if you have a little more patience we'll answer them, okay? =)
