[quote]Sadly, the only "priorities" pirates have is to steal from hard working people, and whine and cry about the prices of completely unnecessary products, as if they're hard done by.[/quote] Perhaps, but we don't really care about them. A company should aim at making the maximum money possible. THAT is their priorities, THAT should be their priorities. On the balance sheet at the end of your quarter, there is not place to show "only 10% of our users used pirated copies! We a

[quote]I like your thinking on this, but what's the balancing factor?[/quote] What do you mean? The Human develops their demography 10 time faster than the elves (maybe ever more), what would take 5 turns for a human to build a military unit, it would take 200 for the Elves! But off course, one defensive elven military unit could easily hold back 15 primitive humans. Same with the dwarves. They are limited in their way of expansions (only mountains, for example). At first, they

[quote]Personally I think there is only one answer to sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy: Use a condom. Careful how you use that word Personally, someone above may get upset at it. And on the use of condoms and preventing STDs and pregnancy, condoms are not 100% effective against either.[/quote] I don'T know the real numbers, but Condom are the only way to protect you against STDs in any way of effectiveness. And while they are not 100% perfect, condoms are one of t

Reply to Piracy & PC Gaming in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote]Stop ruining PC gaming![/quote] I'd say it's not the pirates ruining the gaming. It's the developpers who aren't targetting the right customer base, or the fancy anti-piracy system (that doesn't work) that can make the game itself unenjoyable.

[quote]Yep. Looks like he purchased the original Lost Empires (which by most accounts is indeed a somewhat flawed game). It's too bad that he wasn't paying attention and didn't wait another couple days for the *new* game to be released.[/quote] On the other hand, his criticisms of Lost Empire (the first one) is probably valid. The more the pity, because I heard that, indeed, L.E. was really flawed from the start. I really find it a bad thing that the developper left their buyin

[quote]Cikomyr, an Indie game does NOT mean simply low-end graphics. An Indie game means that there are multiple bugs, spelling mistakes, horrific UI which seems like it was pre-made with a fold and someone amateurishly glued text on it and more, while the maps and ships look like they are made from placard. This is not a retail game where only a few bugs here and there are apparent. I cannot exactly describe to you what Indie game actually means, I guess you will have to see for yourselves. Ima

You got 15''? that's cute. Yesterday, we had 3 feet of snow on Montreal, while in Outaouais, it was more like 4 feet. You see images of roads with abandonned cars, trucs and large-scale snowblowers, with snowmobiles travelling on those roads, the only way to actually manage to get anywhere. The worst thing is, it was the 2nd winter storm on the same week.
