"i am not some rich spoiled brat like you" Of course you weren't speaking to me, but just thought I'd throw this out there...just because a person can pay for thier games doesn't make them rich spoiled brat. You know...they might actually work and save up money and EARN their money. "Unfortunatelly you prooved to me one thing.Narrowmindedness,unenlightenedness,dimbwitedness will never let you understand my reasons ." I think you just let us on to un

Not sad for stardock as it shows that they are getting extra customers. I preordered my copy about 1 week before release. Then I downloaded the pirate version because it came out before the release date. Even though I have paid for the Impulse version I am still playing the pirate ve
[quote who="Aroddo" reply="4" id="2164671"] And personally, I wish they would throw lawsuits at those "14 year olds"...what kind of society are we in where we turn a blind eye to people stealing other people's work? Well, that's your personal choice of the kind of society you wish to live in. I prefer to live in a society not based upon revenge. But then, I'm not american and thus have been indoctrinated with completely different sets of social values.&n
[quote who="jochance" reply="24" id="2164129"]If you knew what you were talking about you might have noted that the case was in Sweden not Switzerland. Ego Fail.[/quote] Did I say what country it was in? No, you did. I just said I read about it and didn't mention a single thing regarding country...lol. The only "fail" is your inability to present a valid argument. Anything else from the peanut gallery? "And the damage they allegedly do is pure fiction
[quote who="jochance" reply="22" id="2164095"]Are you from Switzerland? Have you read anything at all about the case? I'm done with you now. Thanks for playing.[/quote] Haha...right...all your points were shot down in a blazing glory, and now the only retort left for you is retreat. And yeah, I have read all about it...obviously more then you. You know...it's one thing to steal and just say you don't give a damn...it's another thing entirely when those theives
What the hell are you talking about? My comment was regarding drawing parallels to Piratebay and Google, and how intent does matter. Having a nice conversation all in your head I see lol...who's winning? Anyways, just to address your silly point, they did break the law. You don't have to actually distibute the material to break the law...meerly facilitating (with intent [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] ) other people's breach against copyright laws is illegal.
[quote who="jochance" reply="17" id="2163932"]Then it matters in cases where people die. So you're saying digital theft is just like murder?[/quote] Wow...that one went whizzing right over your head lol. Intent matters in all criminal cases, I just used murder as an example.
[quote who="jochance" reply="13" id="2163884"]It doesn't matter that they are obviously marketed to copyright violators if the end result is the same.[/quote] Actually, that matters a lot. Intent is one of the principles of criminal law...that's why there is a distinction between Murder I, Murder II, and Manslaughter.
Paper's fine... Nerf rock.
[quote who="Aroddo" reply="10" id="2163752"]I like the german copy protections... In Settlers II even the cracked version played normally, but after some time, every building started to produce sheep instead of timber, gold, pigs, etc. In Drakensang, even though cracked, important Quest NPCs went missing. You noticed after hours of playing, when you realize you are stuck. Imagine the fun in the forums where "honest buyers" log in
While I completely agree with what you said, your request will almost certainly fall on deaf ears.
[quote who="woca" reply="2" id="2163578"]host your own game i can't tell if you have been trolling the froums altely or are just really dense[/quote] LoL...nice one.
I hope that case set some precedences...I would love to see publishers/developers start laying lawsuits on those morally bankrupt asses and their theiving visitors.
What a sad thing to see...I can't believe what I am reading in this thread.
"what pisses me off is the sheer signs of utmost disrespect I'm getting from pirated players who feel like they're entitled to something for nothing." No way! Theives being disrespectful? You dont say!

Dungeon Keeper? These are the same guys who did Dungeon Keeper? I thought Bullfrog did DK...or are some of the people at GPG from Bullfrog?
[quote who="comanoodle" reply="1" id="2148116"]I agree. Past a certain point, the result of the match is set. Often, it can be very early. It's not really fun knowing that there's really no risk in attempting to kill somebody, because he and his teammates can't possibly hope to kill anyone in your team right now. They have too little health/armor/damage, you have too much. I'm not really sure there's a way to offset this, other than to provide an "OH SHIT" button on a long cooldown

[quote who="Somaz" reply="1" id="2147503"]Good for you! For it to remain good like that, simply never play Dota Good luck mate.[/quote] Na, even if another game is "better", that doesn't change the fact that this game is good. If DotA is steak and this game is just burgers...whatever...I still like to eat me some burgers lol.
Just wanted to drop in and thank the developers for making a very cool game. Just purchased it last night and proceded to play for like 3 hours straight. I am a new player in this genre and have never played DotA...I mostly play ARPG's (like Diablo, TQ) so the "rpg" aspects are really what drew me in. I think the job you guys did with the skill trees is awesome...better then some actual ARPG's have done in my opinion. The maps and look beautiful and while the g
