But my latest experience of a new release (tLD) is that they are trying to support it. I can admit that the original game was a sad story, not properly tested and released to soon, and personally I waited half a year before I bought it so the worst flaws would have been patched. We all wants a working product, and that's our right as paying customers, but remember that there's no, or little, money in the CC series of games, so they can't put down thousands of man-hours in the new releases and if I got it right: the original code seems to be missing too, making programming a lot harder. Let's just hope that they can release a final, working patch for tLD (...and the other games too!) and maybe they crack the coding problem one day, so we can get a decent AI experience as well. |

I've noticed there are beta patches to the games. |

Never said anything about CCS, just a remark about the laws, ethics and moral around the pirate copying debate. (Oh, yes. |

Well, I get a feeling that it's a norm; -and if it's a norm, why demand warning texts? |

Also a bit of history.
The CC series had quite a large base of volunteer testers from this community.... Unfortunately during the production of CCMT someone "released" the test build of the game to the torrent download sites. |

To say the least, this has severely impacted the ability to test patches/upgrades. |

Note that it's always about how evil pirates are "stealing" from "poor" developers. |

But I have never seen magazines demanding respect for law and customer rights from developers. |

Sapa among others downloaded it and posted his thoughts.... luckily it was infested with trojans and all downloaders have been suffering since. Due to this all the testers were let go by Matrix and "trust" is something that has to be earned. To say the least, this has severely impacted the ability to test patches/upgrades. |

Stealing is stealing whether it is from 'poor' or 'rich' developers. If someone stole something from you that you owned, I am sure you would think that is just fine... |

We all got one of those to test on. Therion got a Polonez Caro 'cause his video card couldn't drive that screen. |

Alas, there are those with no scruples, and likely double standards. I wonder what they would think if they had their own work stolen? |
