SGII And Points

Today I was at the local game store and the topic of SGII came about. 
No
sooner had said the name did the local GW fan contingent tell me that
SGII
"sucks" because it doesn't have a points system.  Even after I tried
explain
Jon's reasoning for this, they told me that GZG doesn't want to make
money
because "powergamers and munchkins are the only gamers in the SF
market."
Without points "you might as well be playing historical wargames."

I offered that there were a couple very balanced fan created points
systems
available on the web.  That didn't sway them either.  "Tuffley made a
mistake by not adding a point system, he'll never compete with GW by
doing
that."
