does any one remember 'Home Taping is Killing Music' label on the old lp's sleeve?

did it kill music? no, i dont think so. music industries still make mega bucks.

i dont think games companies lose that much either: there must be a calculated allowance for loss to piracy. i suspect if the game is fantastic sales will outstrip piracy; after all, who wants a potentially cocked up pirtate download, the game is already reduced in price by nearly £10 on amazon. even my children who recieve a little pocket money could afford this game ( if they wanted it ) in a month - it aint that expensive. i think the thrill for pirates is in the cracking and boasting. i for one would not download a pirate copy. Hell! i could get an original from ebay in 6-12 months from a certified seller, maybe for £15-20.

whats more interesting is the length/amount of these threads and the ping pong back and to comments that never seem to go any where and the repetition of plee's not to cross subsim boundaries

the first post expalins it all - clearly, no?

god knows what the devs are feeling - maybe they will be glad to rinse their hands of it - leaving it to the modders.

like my mum used to say " if you dont like whats on telly you can always turn it off."

night night

Apparently 'incomplete' means that parts of game data will be downloaded on the fly. I've heard reports of pirates not seeing any missions to choose from or something like that. Presumably AC2 will also download missions or something similar that isn't included on the disc or within the downloaded installer.

For Sh5 missing content it is not big deal, because supermods often overwrite stock campaigns and missions ... at least i hope so.
