I think the problem is the day of computer game users working in computer game stores in long over...

I remember walking into Babbages back in the day, and the 20 something "kids" working there could not only tell you everything about most of the software in the store, but also how to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat files for particular titles... now you'd be lucky to find ANYONE in the store who plays computer games.

It's all Xbox and Playstation... I guess most people playing computer games these days aren't in retail.

I've seen DW in two game stores down here. The extra campaign thing intrigues me.

Well I e-mail BlackBean and asked about when the extra scenarios will be posted on the BlackBean website so the people who already have the BF or Strategy First version of DW can play them. I also did say I wasn't going to buy an extra copy just to get the scenarios.

Either he didn't understand my e-mail or they are hoping we will buy another copy as his answer was that if they put the scenarios up on the BlackBean website why would people want to purchase a copy. I'll post his e-mail later.

I was thinking those who don't have a copy will buy it in the store as they wouldn't be able to play the scenarios unless they have DW. Maybe BB are worried that people will get a warez copy of DW.

Very bad attitude from Black Bean.
We are not second class customers.
We supported the game from the first day it came out, by buying the battlefront release or the retail sf release.
They really are out of their minds if they think we will double dip just to have a few extra scenarios.

Lets be realistic here, if SCS were worried about warez copies of DW they would have included any kind of copy protection since the battlefront release.
The people who wanted this game have already bought it.
I think the bottom line is that BB thinks we will double dip but that is just preposterous.
At this moment I really wish someone who has bought the european release will be generous enough to share with the community the extra scenarios and missions.
Its not as if the license forbids the sharing of the scenarios and/or missions.
This is just the case of another greedy publisher.
