I'm not trying to convince you, but one of those games was with me (a year ago), and I'm pretty sure I was emphasizing the new and different parts (one dramatically fresh augment) rather than the loopholes (but it*is* still funny the seventh time). As a con game with new rules, I felt a bit crunched on time. The game might not have been representative of a typical campaign game.
In our games the freshness requirement doesn't seem to be a major issue for players.
