Entire thread is babies.

I think people who make blanket generalizations about arbitrary things are the worst.

I think when historians of the future look back at this time, they will come to the conclusion that no one else in history is as self-important, or as indignant, as PC gamers with no life.

Welcome Jon! I look forward to seeing what a young talent like you can bring to Stardock :) [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

I hope Jon sees this thread. I think he got a lot of unnecessary negativity in the last thread. I am pretty sure Jon is responsible for some of the things I liked about Civ 5, like the hex map and one unit per tile limitation, and real ranged units. The bad things he often gets credit for seem more like stuff that gets pushed down from execs, publishers and producers. I'm sure Jon will have more freedom at Stardock and can't wait to see what he's capable of under their

I'd just like to share my 2 cents. One thing we know Shafer is personally responsible for is one of the best (IMO) changes to the Civ franchise since it began: Hex map with one unit per tile and real ranged units. I remember when they first announced it that they were saying the hex format and 1 unit per tile thing were the things he specifically wanted to bring to the table. To say that one guy is responsible for all of the bad things in a game is simply simple minded

[quote who="kenata" reply="136" id="2859416"]Not to be short with those defending a side that I myself am defending, but please do not antagonize or belittle those with the opposing view. It is in fact what these people want. Instead of furthering the public discussion, we spend our limited time and effort becoming side tracked by those who would simply destroy civil and intellectual debate. We all should be aware that many people are being taught that, when on the side of a weaker argument,

[quote who="TheDarkKnight2008" reply="119" id="2859071"] The fact that you believe it isn't theft should say enough about you. Also, extra points for trying to twist what I said bout Robin Hood.[/quote] The fact that you think copyright infringement is theft speaks volumes about your ignorance of the very laws you're advocating for. Major corporations who own intellectual property continuously lobby our government to make it theft, but it really isn't. They are also t

And making inflammatory threads about the community is any better?

Nice feedback, but I'm wondering why this is in dev journals.

I get that's the easy answer. But I'm trying to square what you said about your Gamer's Bill of Rights with what hit the store shelves today. We consider the game, as released, finished. You don't agree. I am offering you a solution. <br /

[quote who="GreenReaper" reply="21" id="2724389"]If everyone who was going to buy Civ V bought Elemental first, I think we'd be quite happy with that. [/quote] I'm going to play/buy both! I'll be more likely to buy Elemental expansions at full price though. Unless they just totally go insane with an expansion for Civ5, but I expect mediocre DLC :| At least you guys didn't pawn off factions like Babylon to retail stores though. :P

Actually it was probably leaked by someone who works at a retail store.

My stupid bank denied payment this morning due to fraud suspicion. I was at work and unable to accept the charges. Now I either have to wait for someone in impulse sales to look at my order, and maybe get my pre-order done again, or even worse I may have to buy it on another card for more money now. Either way, I can't play the game now :(

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2721722"]Yes. You will all get the same stuff at some point later on. Best Buy and Walmart paid for additional content to be made (just like Random House did for the book). But in the case of the retailers, it was agreed that all content that was made for them would be able to be given out to all players within 90 days.[/quote] Thanks for explaining it. That seems fair.

Man I have to start a new job tomorrow morning at 6am after a 1hour drive which means I need to be up by 4am. It is going to take a lot of discipline to peel myself away to go to bed on time. I can't afford to be late!
