As if I didn't have enough games to play, now I've got Combat Mission Shock Force, UFO : Extraterrestrials, Crown of the North, Two Thrones, Rush to Berlin and Crusader Kings Complete on top of everything else. If I didn't already own Mount & Blade and EU3 Complete I likely woulda snagged those as well. [e digicons]:blush:[/e]
[quote who="Nesrie" reply="23" id="2279809" And there are no laws on the books that dictate companies have to provide outrageous quarterly profits and screw the company, including shareholders, in the long-term. There simply isn't.[/quote] I said nothing about outrageous quarterly profits or hurting the company long term. What I SAID was that the goal of corporate management HAS to be profit...it need not be obscene profit, but some level of making more than they're spendin
Management HAS to be concerned primarily with the gain of shareholders...that's actually part of US business law. Management of a corporation cannot run counter to the profit motives of it's shareholders (unless of course the shareholders have agreed to it). Too bad. I really enjoyed Anno 1701 and the demo for this one was really good.
Demo was a lot of fun...really well made. Definitely interested in this one.
Just to let anyone interested know, Reclaim Your Game is also in the midst of actually doing an interview with Sony DADC (makers of SecuROM).
[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="2" id="2266268"]yeah, have 1701 special edition and it's a really nice game. also tried the new game's demo and I fairly pleased so far (though I still need more time with it for a verdict). beware though, ubisoft slammed a fairly nasty drm on the thing. something with limited activations as in spore. in case that's an issue. I also think it goes by a different name overeas, something dawn of discovery. [/quote] Actually, it probably uses

[quote who="psychoravin" reply="10" id="2257540"]Yeah the way Stardock et all speak out against DRM and copy protection and then turn around and sell games with it on them you know what that makes Stardock? Benedict Arnolds of the software industry in my eyes. You can't take a stand against one thing and then support that one thing by distributing their products. I think that's worse than being a liar, they become a traitor. I'm glad to know this about Stardock now. I'll be sure and change my
The worst part of it is that a lot of the initial problems were largely because Gamestop decided to break the street date by the better part of a week (was there ever ANY explanation for that screwup, incidentally???), flooding the servers with players both legit (and not) before they were supposed to be used. In the end, you do as much as you can. And one thing that most people like about you guys is that you DO care and you do as much as you can for the players...that's something tha
[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="1" id="2178359"] You must be doing something wrong. I bought Sins in December and activated it through Impulse once. Since then I've installed Sins on at least 3 of my laptops and computers. Have never had to 'reactivate' anything. Just installed Impulse, logged in and installed. No, he is right. If you copy files or use Impulse anywhere, you will see than an activation is required. But that activation is transparently handled when using Impulse to
[quote who="aLap" comment="71"] Reclaim Your Game has been doing an overall good job so far. Everyone is able to make mistakes now and then. I think that most users in this thread are replying with valid points, but I'm not too fond of the more exacerbated approach that some choose to use... Anyway, I gave myself the trouble to *finally* create an account in RYG's forum and started a thread about the subject in question there: http://www.the-prism.com/index.php?to
[quote who="VoodooKing" comment="68"] Their argument is about that Goo thingy. However it hasn't been implemented yet and they made a hasty decision based on Brad's inability to reply a PM in a timely manner. My boss always tells me "When I can't reach a client, I always have other means, if he doesn't pick up his cell, I call his house, if not, I'll get his email, I'll write to him via snail mail, there is no way I can't reach anyone I choose to reach." And when I
[quote who="faroguy" comment="61"] @ vindKtiv: That was not appropriate. They are entitled to their opinion just as you are entitled to your's. I believe that you could get your point across just fine in a more polite manner and be less likely to start a war. @ sarawati: I would like to apologize for the offensive poster and politely request that you hear us out. I think that this whole debate stems from different ideas about what DRM is. The people fr
Unscripted campaign with a story...full modding capability...a push for really good single player...man oh man, keep those three things in there and I might never played another game after this! [e digicons]:D[/e]
[quote who="Heavenfall" comment="44"] I think the people from their site posting here just don't get it. If having to register your account to gain access to the online portions of the game is DRM, then their site is DRM as well. They are hypocrites because they require from their users what they want noone else to require from their users. Furthermore, an internet website goes BELOW even a private company when it comes to measuring credibility and respect to the user's
[quote who="Phalnax811" comment="29"] Oh, and Phalnax? Maybe try spelling your alias correctly before you start trying to talk like a big boy. Thanks. HAHAHAHA!!! Maybe ask if I spelt it that way on purpose before you point fingers,,, Here's the story: Back in the days of Age of Empires I...there was the Phalanx unit....and its a Greek Formation I know....so that's how I thought it was spelled....mind you, I was only 10 around then...so the wrong spelling stuc
Tridus : Personally, my thoughts on this pretty much mirror your own. And yes, your fridge is now evil.

Well, I'm a member of that website. Personally, I don't consider the change in system for Demigod to be a big deal at all...it doesn't bother me. Some people might, though, and that was the point of posting that. We're about information, not fearmongering. We're hardly a group of tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists screaming like Chicken Little about how the sky is falling because DRM is the epitome of evil, though. Right now we've been having a long conversation with the CEO of B
