I find that rereading a book, no matter how good, is a boring affair in and of itself. Usually a book's story entertains me. The story, to me, cannot be retold in the same fashion ever again, after the first reading. But I do read books again (if they're really good) given a couple of months' gap. It's similar with games. The story entertains me. And the story cannot ever entertain me the same way after I've finished it once. When it comes to something like an FPS or RTS, there's multiplayer that provides replayability.

Anyway, you have a good point regarding the dedication of the team. It is risky to put full trust in them and then not get your money's worth of an ending. However, if that were to happen, you could always finish it yourself - in your head
