EBgames.com to sell SeaWolves addon to SHIII

Please tell me this is not that same software from X something or other(it states 'Take 2 Interactive'?!?:hmm:

The screenshots look horrible for it and I see nothing from them that looks any better than what I already have.

SHIII 1.4B + GW

Here's the link at EBgames.com

It is. Looks like they´ve found a publisher for the US...

By the way, I bet they appreciate that you just gave them free publicity...

Hmm Grey Wolves or SeaWolves+14.99 cost...


[Sarcasm] Man this a really hard choice[/sarcasm]


Man I cant believe these <bleep> are making money off modifying a game, if people did that for Rome:Total War they woulda been sued

Oh well...

I guess I just wont buy ANY product that Take2 Interactive releases ever again. Shame on them for supporting a bunch of money hungry, idea snatching, copy and pasting, bastards.

Trust me folks, don't waste $15 bucks on this crap. SHIII + FREE GreyWolves has soooo much more to offer with better visuals and gameplay to boot.

SheFreak72, I am serious, you will get ripped off if you buy it since it is all on here for free. It MIGHT be worth it if you had a piss poor internet connection and downloading GreyWolves or any other mod takes you forever to do. But even then I think I would invest my $15 on getting a better internet service provider with broadband capability and download the free mods and be able to surf the net and grab up other mods for other games and to be able to play multiplayer games online with no lag. It pays off and saves you money to have speed on your side

Even that is a non issue as I can bet that someone here who does have either GW or the NYGM mod would be more than willing to burn them to a CD/DVD and ship it to the person.

Ok, ok ... you've all convinced me. Now, who can send me a GW CD/DVD? If you prefer, you can contact me via email: sweepster@ev1.net

I'm in the US. Thanks!

They have Ubisoft´s permission.

I feel the same as many of the people here, why buy when you can get it free from this great community..i dont care if they had ubisoft's permission or not i know it's ubi's game but ubi did'nt make these mods the modders did so they should of asked for THEIR permission..i know if they asked me for my permission for something i would of told them to take a long walk off a short pier with concrete boots.

Every piece of text and code inside the files that came with SHIII is UBI´s. We can mod them, but without UBI´s permission to do so, something like X1 can take them and sell them. Hell, take could even take the whole TGW mod and make cover art for it and put to shelves. They have permission to mod the files, we dont.

I'm sorry but that is just plain wrong IMO we ( the modding community ) put the hard work in, plus we ( as modders ) are keeping a game alive that could of died ages ago. Yet we are constantly releasing mods FOR FREE , both the NYGM and GW teams are releasing big mods that almost change the entire game, both teams are getting posts relating to people coming back to play SH3 due to these two said mods. but it's the modding community as a whole ( not just NYGM, GW ) that is keeping this game fresh and enjoyable to play.

Totally agree!
Im not an expert on this field but i have picked up that Ubisoft seldom releases patches. And without modders,gamers would lose interest much sooner.

I havent installed GW yet though, but ive noticed that everyone likes it. What is the main difference btw? Will i notice any changes while playing?

Keep up the good work modders ....even if i dont have a clue bout the improvements:p

The flightsim, trainsim and the racing (just started) community has been doing this for ages so it is no suprise that it has come here... good, bad or otherwise it was bound to happen as people will always look for a way to make a buck

[Dowly]

@Pants: The only game I know, that really cares about the community is IL2. Oleg Maddox regularily visits the forums and gives info of the new patches etc.

It is wrong, but this is how the world works. Money, money, money.

Even if X1 have permission, they have it for selling the stuff they modified themselves. There are some things like original textures, models, text which does not and can't belong to UBI. F.e. they had to take away some additions to a campaign written by Nico because he threatened to sue them. Unfortunately, some modders did not even know that X1 took their stuff so they could not act in time.
