[quote who="Viisari" reply="112" id="2350765"] I'm saying that the balance is lost between creators, consumers and publishers, and that is why they need changing. [/quote] [e digicons]1*[/e] to that.
While I can see the fun of it I do not agree with the T-shirt move. All they show to be is childish and not willing to pay for content while saying "you can't catch us nanananana". It's not helping companies, nor them, nor us. If they wanted to be constructive they'd 'attack' the companies on a political front, like the pirate party. Not that it will help much against the mighty lobbies. But this is just provocative.
It's the downside of Brad posting on this forum. We as gamers are probably never totally happy, in this case a byproduct of our enthusiasm for the game, but you have to note the alternative. Brad could just say "screw it, I will never announce anything and you will all just see it when it's done (or not)". Then we would all complain that we hear nothing from Brad anymore. Because of this I read announcements with great anticipation, but do not make whine posts about promises not delivere
OMG the book 1984 had a sequal? [e digicons]8(|[/e] ;)
I know ofcourse, I just wanted to point out the rediculous fact that even when they have your money you still aren't allowed because.. what? Using a no-cd costs them money? But they already have it! Hell, read some topics about people with scratched game DVDs. Local law dictates that by only providing the license the medium should be replaced for free or for cost price. But don't think you can. If you are lucky they charge you a disappointing €20 for so called shipping costs, but most of
[quote who="Nesrie" reply="86" id="2350168"]Now I am not sure if its illegal to have a no-crack cd of a game you actually purchased to get a patch to work.[/quote] Yep actually it is. Something to do with not being allowed to circumvent any protection. Kind of sad really. You could purchase the game and still get sued, hurray!
Call it tofu for all I care, anything is more exciting than "ball".

True, however the animation is a bit slow IMO. It almost looks like a The Matrix scene..
[quote who="Sinzer" reply="52" id="2349498"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning There is a reason why it is called Ball Lightning, it already has a name in the english language [/quote] Duh, I knew that since I was 12. However a real ball lightning doesn't fight creeps, so why bother to give it the name? Better make it sound cool, so people actually have the guts to use it. I can already imagine the "gaaaaaaaaaay" comments on an Oculus "ball
[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="82" id="2349521"]X3: Terran Conflict. Im probably modding it more than I'm playing it but it's the thought that counts. [/quote] Hmm that sounds familiar.

[quote who="Spartan" reply="54" id="2349503"] Quoting twifightDG, reply 52 Now, the TPB case if ofcourse semi-settled. What they did was illegal in Sweden and they will be punished, as soon as the high court makes a new ruling about the severity of their punishment. A Swedish court rules TPB admins too broke to pay damages. You can read all about it here. [/quote] I know, and the funny thing is the dutch company that

[quote]I say bring them over here and allow the US to punish them. Take away everything that is not theirs to begin with and get rid of it completely. There should be extradition policies for these things. Thus those people would face charges here in the USA.[/quote] That comment is simply stupid. Different countries have different laws. You cannot convict people for something that is not illegal where they do it. Now, the TPB case if ofcourse semi-settled. What they did was i
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="46" id="2349436"]Good riddance. The excuses people are making to validate their stealing of games/software is quite ridiculous. [/quote] Maybe I'm better off not responding, but.. While I agree that copyright infringement (;) Spartan) is wrong and in general shouldn't be done, simply calling it rediculous and not changing your strategy is arrogant and stupid. [b]The market changed, and so should companies[/b]. Don't hate it,
Aye sphere sounds much better.
I think most here will agree that the current situation is not a good one for either side, namely the customer and the companies. I don't think many, including me, would want it to stay this way. The thing I'm interested in though is which way it is going, or atleast which way it should go. I see a terrible self-destructive reluctance to change their own ways, especially what the music industry is concerned. Please rethink your business models!! You've got a lovely new distribution
[e digicons]1*[/e] for great map ideas. This will make people understand the different game features better. It'll show them why you need to cap flags, reinforce creeps to defeat enemy towers, etc
OMG I got a sticky wet spot in my pants now [e digicons]:D[/e] Second best news after the new Deus Ex coming (if they ever finish)
True many cool USA shows never even get aired here. So they can hardly argue that they lose sales on it. Although they will argue that we should complain at local TV stations and have them buy the show from them, but if they'd know our TV stations at all they'll know it'll never happen. I've seen some Friends seasons air over 12 years already, cheap ass bastards.
I hope one day most piracy will be a thing of the past. I also think that will not happen unless companies change their business model. I hope the swedish pirate party can change the views of the politicians so that with their help we can all come to a working solution.

But here is one that does that hasn't been mentioned: Tron 2.0 [/quote] I agree, surprised that one hasn't been mentioned yet.

Around the time I used them Maxtors had a real bad name because of failures, apparantly they were sent back by the dozen (even companies confirmed high failure rates) however I used atleast 6 and never had a bad cluster.
[quote who="brjoha" reply="94" id="2349168"]EDIT: Sorry, wrote that after a few bad games and have had a chance for the blood pressure to come down a bit. I really do appreciate the communication coming from Stardock, but hope you also understand how it feeds frustration when things are said but don't happen. Anyway, it's just a game - not worth the aggravation - time to move on. [/quote]Coffee was invented for just this.
