sigh this is turning into another one of those "pirates are mean evil thieves who steal from others" i find this 10 day thing to be retarded. What if you travel around a lot and you don't have internet?? What about those people who aren't very good with computers, thier firewall or router wont allow it to connect to the internet and they will have no idea what to do about it. tired of hearing people spamming pirates are to blame when people get turned away from buying thier pro

[quote] On topic, I feel the point about targetting an audience that can afford your product is well made, and that providing free fixes and patches goes a long way towards reducing piracy (particularly for MP).[/quote] agreed with free fixes and patches another problem now days is that they wont include everything in the game from the start example: new halo 3 maps, extra mods for oblivion.

it would be an interesting event if one of the minor races makes a huge break through in science and moves up to compete with all the bigger races in the galaxy.

[quote]1. You're hardly alone in not being able to afford everything, or to get burned buying crap. I can't, and I have been burned. So what? Grow up - risk is part of life. Do a bit of research before you buy stuff and you won't get burned as often.[/quote] Why should I risk my money on something that might not give me hours of enjoyment?? Its just about being smart to avoid being stuck with something that would gather dust on the shelves I do research on the game when I downlo

gonna revive an old topic since i was searching for things about stealing techs in gal civ 2 and found this so i will add my thoughts to the list people who say stealing copy righted things are bad I agree, IN THEORY! (im bad at english just to let you know) How many times have you went to the theaters for a movie that just came out only to find out the movie you watched was absolute garbage?? What about companies that rob you by making great marketing tricks??<br
