[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="5" id="2881482"]Trying to consume less electricity is just another phrase for GODLESS COMMUNISM. Next you'll be rounding up all the minorities for the camps.

Well, over the years, development costs to make the "AAA" games has increased a lot. For some reason games have to look "next-gen" with every new title.

Both windows 7 and 2008 R2 using the same SP?
I havent played Minecraft myself, but that game shows that Steam is not needed to reach to a big audience. I know, it's probably a rarity, but here this game is sold to people from the developer himself, without any middle man. This middle man that brings the game to people is the reason touted as to why devlopers "need a DD service" like Steam.

It seems like the less than stellar release of Elemental War on Magic didnt help Reactor's launch.
[quote who="Darvin3" reply="5" id="2876600"] DRM has evolved from it's humble beginnings as a weapon against piracy DRM as a weapon against piracy has never been a serious enterprise. After all, who in their right mind spends valuable and highly limited development resources pursuing a market whose defining characteristic is a refusal to pay for things?

Anyone know ark fatalis? That game had recently its source code released, under the GPL3 license. Now fans of the game have started porting efforts that will among other things, bring over Ark Fatalis to Linux natively.
What is that acronym he used to explain the high price of digital downloads?

[quote who="SirBedwyr" reply="3" id="2870466"]While I'm glad to see wider distribution I do hope that the availability here doesn't cannibalize sales for from whom I got BG. I support them and their efforts as much as I support Impulse. [/quote] Gog? Nah, it'd say if anything, they're > popular download site. They are available in europe after all. [e digicons]:D[/e]

If you cannot solve a math problem with just your brain, even a simple one, you are really going to have problems in life.

Yeah, but for example the xbox live isnt available in all countries, and how many people that have iphones often buy apps from the appstore. I get your reply, but i thought it was about something the services themselves had, not their market expansion.
It's very own Facebook game!! Live Civ's !!! With Brad promoting it on his own facebook page!!! Yeah! That's what it needs!! [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]
As usual, i enjoy reading these posts by Draginol, interesting to have a developers' thoughts on the different new distribution methods available for old and new developers.

So should the title be renamed to Sid Meier's Elemental: War on Magic now?

It's so interesting and cringe inducing seeing an older, established game company like Fireaxis shoehorning one of the their biggest IPs into the model of one of the first games from a much less established, recent facebook game company.
