That's hilarious !
what was the cost of the 7 years of CloD development ? 6 or 7 or 8 millions ?
That's peanuts comparing to folks who are filming 250 to 300 million blockbuster
movies just to have it the next day after theatre release posted on
the Internet by a bunch of guys streaming for free and a lot of them in an
excellent quality mind you .
Haven't been reading any madness of authorities picking one after another day in day out .
None , zero , nada , zilch , zip .
L.O.L. compare CloD peanuts expenses , I wonder which attorney will pick
up CloD case just for a couple of millions and to whom exactly they will be hunting ? .
Hoping for the SFS extractor as soon as possible .
Pay 50 grand to the guys whose hobby is to crack games code and they will eat CloD alive !
That's a nice pay considering they do it for free with other games .
Sorry couldn't resist , Luthier was not exactly nice to us either .

hmmm, it's needed to think on large numbers. If you have 1000 people (which is not so difficult worldwide...) with 50 euros is 50.000,00=.
If you have 10000 is 500000 and so on.
Obviously is neede an organization. Website..paypal or something similar...etc.
But 1st.......Is needed the will of the owner to sell.......

The devs don't have to give us diddly squat, and they have the law on their hand. The faster people acknowledge that little fact, the faster you can get on to doing something more worthwhile with your time.

Downloading games is something I stopped doing a long time ago. Why? Simple. while pirating saves you some money, it helps to move more and more developers over to console gaming, where pirating is harder. Or move them to proprietary DRM-solutions like UPlay.
Usually I'm very much EULA is EULA and copyright is not to be abused... but in the case of where the product sold does not match the product advertised, this is and should be a completely different story.

If it was a motor vehicle advert and the motor vehicle being sold didn't match, civil action could be applied and have a gues which party would win that action... yes the person bringing the action against the vehicle maker.
Blatant false advertising.....

The same should apply to software and civil action should be (in this case) brought against the publisher. Why the publisher? because they own the rights to the product, they advertised the product to sell the product, and they released a product which fell short of that commitment to supply.

sadly as of late i have not seen any good games worth downloading and the ONE game that i did purchase Diablo 3 was a game if any is worth of getting for free is the one to get since it was crap....

also after i try the game if i like i generally buy it to get all the features and a more complete and sometimes less stressful (having to get or wait for cracked patches) experience...



the key word here is abandonware.... the devs and everyone else involved has clearly abandoned the game, and its fans in this regard...

honestly i really hope that they make some really huge leaps forward with this ROF engine, but who knows what will happen and having something to fall back on...would be really nice...

Easy way to solve this ..

If 777 are so anal that they want CLOD terminated then we should have the same attitude to BOS and espectially ROF .. they can go f%^&%^ themselves, they won't see my money. i pay for quality, not cartels. Start a campaign.

All we want is CLOD fixed .. last patch wasn't even close, maybe for onliners, not for offliners. I don't want to see CLOD expanded, just fixed.

As to money, i suggested that a few days ago and got the cricket response. i still think free user fixes is the best apprpoach.

collect money for a game?, talking of millions?

how about collecting money to hyre a good lawyer and sue the powers for the population control measures like adding mercury to vaccines and cavity fillings, fluoride in water, aluminum in deodorant lead in gasoline and better not talking of food

but wait what for someone would run with the money

i wonder who would take care of the millions to save the game, personally i wouldnt like to do it would be like a black lottery

It would cost more in legal fees to sue than it would to just buy the dam engine, or create your own.

Most top international trade lawyers charge $800 / hour.
