KilrathiSaga
Spaceman
Frustration is one word I can relate with at this point in time. When EA said they were closing down origin and the WC series...they meant it. The games have all been pulled from shelves of stores I've visited...even Prophecy Gold, the newest in the series.
EA isn't responding fast enough to emails (if at all), and now it looks as if in a couple of years, the only way to obtain these games will through auctions or warez. And that's not acceptable. I challenge anyone to name ONE game that you really really want but is near impossible to find (lets stay in the 1990-2000) range. OK, maybe one game...but a whole series?
Maybe EA can't listen to reason. Maybe they're not getting enough to listen to. Maybe the people who want the games aren't being loud enough. Personally, I want WC3...yeah, right. I understand the concept of downsizing...and the concept of financial difficulties...but seriously. Give the license to Microsoft. Do something to please the fans.
Now, many of you won't be able to relate with me because the mere fact that you frequent this board displays a certain adoration for the series and I would assume most have you have more than 75% of the games...but I'm missing more than two. I want to be able to play these games again.
Re-playing the first one off the PC-Gamer CD filled me with certain emotions: nostalgia, contentment, and when I finally finished the game again, frustration. I don't understand mega-corporation mentality. I would gladly fork over 60 bucks to EA for a series set. Heck, I'd fork over one hundred. But its time for a reality check.
Its not going to happen. I've given them hell over the matter, not only with KS, but with other games in the series. All I get is silence. And now I'm pissed. Maybe if numerous petitions were started, they'd do something. But odds are, they probably won't. I'll keep trying though.
I needed to know...has anyone else noticed disappearing copies of prophecy or Privateer 2 in EB or CompUSA and the like. If so, are you just as angry as me. Or do I just happen to be a solitary voice coming from a pitch black void...
I seriously hope not...
