buying MB at the store........

[nachoboy]

*sorry if this topic is already made*

in the future will you be able to buy MB at a store?

 

[Harlequin_]

unlikely.
only 50 meg. to download atm anyway..

 

[Lu Bu]

Its 37mb to be exactly!

And to bring it into stores and advertise it so people will actually know and buy and so on, would just cost to much and bring to less i think.

maybe M&B 2

 

[Oggy]

Online stores maybe? Spread the gospel of the people!

It used to be more fun to buy a disc from a store and load it up and play it to death but now with all of the copy protection and anti-thievery code **** you have to keep it in the drive if you want to play and it wirrs and buzzes around the whole time just to make sure you didn't steal it. That wears out your disc drive and the disc. So the way this game works is better I think. If the time comes where I can't afford a broadband connection anymore I'll just give up on computer games and play the Playstation games on my TV.

Cd Cracks man, perfectly legal if you own the game. I suggest www.megagames.com

 

[The Mouth of Sauron]

While this game deserves all the attention it can get, the average gamer will flip the game box over to look at the in-game screenshots, and promptly put the game back on the shelf. Mount & Blade will, in my opinion, have to rely on word of mouth from trusted friends to become popular.

We'll you would hope the graphics would be upgraded before its put out, because there about 4 years old.

I did that when looking att the screenshots att the DVD gamer it was on i lookt at the screenshots and taught "not another crapy MMORPG" but a couple of days later i instaled it and was hocked.
But i think it will sell better on the internet and with the Knights of Armagan out spreading the word of Mount and blade on all the forums and communits.

Actually its not, in most cases it breaks the EULA by modifying the code

Lets all wear M&B t-shirts.

 

[Laurence of Arabia]

Yes! Except no one would know what the **** it was, or for that matter, care

 

[Winter]

Yes! Except no one would know what the **** it was, or for that matter, care

That's the same for pretty much all geek-themed t-shirts, man.

Intergalactically,
Winter

But of course. Embrace the uniqueness of it all ... except until someone sees and recognises it and you share a knowing smile - "Yes, I too have couch lanced a hapless swadian crossbowman "

EULAs are not legally enforceable contracts. If you break one, you have not done anything illegal. They apply mostly to multiplayer games, as it gives them the power to void the agreement and cut off your service. For offline games it's mainly about avoiding liability/piracy. Of course, I'm only talking about the USA here, internationally it could be different.

Yes, EULAs will not stand up in court. Think for a minute; if you disagree with the EULA it says you must return the game, but how many store will let you return an opened PC game?

And as for cracks, I crack all my games so my CDs/DVDs stay nice and safe in their cases.

 

[Oggy]

Its just easier to do it that way

 

[ltfm]

where i come from, anything is legal with games and on the internet,
Why?
Simply because the laws havent been done yet, so here i am on our tiny 18 islands, in the middle of the north atlantic, downloading and cracking........


PS: this is illegal though kid/childporn

 

[Orion]

kiddie pr0n is revolting.

8 year olds don't have any fully-developed parts anyways.

I don't understand legislation. Without getting into the finer points of the law that our cultural minister shat out, a new addition was made into it with little commotion. Apparently, anyone that violates the new law (in all it's ****tyness) must pay an announcement in the paper declaring they did it. Not rapists. Not child molesters. ****ING SOFTWARE PIRATES.

I don't want the current discussion to stray off-topic, I just wanted to say that. Remind me about the law. some of the points are hilarious.
