[quote who="eobet" reply="68" id="2860565"]Hate is for religious extremists, and I'm an atheist. With that said, I don't believe a word of what you are saying, since you speak like a politician. The most striking example that comes to mind right now is that you said that you would continue to work on Civilization 5 for as long as you could, but this right here is proof that you bailed anyway... or you got forced out, which probably means that you really DID mess up with Civilizatio

[quote who="charon2112" reply="53" id="2860513"]The opinion of many (not necessarily me) is that he 'dumbed down' civ V...and he knows people think that. To post something like that button post is a bit of a kick in the balls to civ fans. He's almost acknowledging that he did dumb it down and is now joking about doing it to EWoM...not so funny.[/quote]So the kicks to his (Shafer's) balls are fine? Double standards much.

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="29" id="2860062"]I love the internet; any moron with a keyboard can pour their uneducated opinions out for all to read. Only on this Forum, the CEO steps in to explain the situation. And only on this Forum, he's basically told he's wrong by an uneducated moron. [/quote]What worries me is that that kind of situation (be Elemental related or not) also happens outside the internet. :(

[quote who="Hanokh1967" reply="25" id="2860294"] I have never once complained about Elemental despite its many problems, but this announcement has to be an April Fools joke. Civ 5 is an unplayable mess. Jon Shafer is primarily responsible for its failure. He and all those involved with Civ 5 have not even had the balls to admit that there might be problems with the game. Then he comes here and his first post is definitely asinine and borderline insu

[quote quoting="post"] Dear FrogBoy, I have owned most of your titles since GalCiv1. I enjoyed your creations thoroughly. Now, I was about to buy Elemental after reading how much better it became with patch 1.1. I wanted to buy Elemental because the lead designer of Civilization 5 ruined my civ experience after 20 years of loyal support. Not anymore. I will not buy any other game that this person touches. I know of many that were thinking along the same lines, and

Ubi DRM is like Steam but without Off Line mode. Why don't they add one? Well, still 1 step in the right direction I suppose. (where 1 better than 0)

It was obvious when he left Firaxis. :P He tried something with Civ V. Something that many seem to dislike (apparently? I "enjoy" reading the 2K forums and there seems to be a lot of angst there) and others seem to like. In any case, I can respect what he tried to do and welcome him with loaded open arms. Does Shafer like RPGs? Man, I want Stardock's next game to be one. (Brad letting someone else to take care of Gal

Awww, almost a month wihtout updates. *blames work and Christmas* If I were to update the OP, the version number would be higher but as I won't be updating it yet, you are stuck living in the past. :P With 1.1 (and 1.2 in the horizon), it's time of custom tech trees for the different factions (note to self: check again the LIBmod) and the "amazonation" of Moyen-Uni (ESRB AO rating, there I go! XD ) as was prophetised by myself long time ago (poor Les Elus). News from Stardock about the future
