This is nuts. You guys are putting too much energy into negative responses on a message board that won't get your opinions to the right people. Instead of bitching about the situation over and over and over, write an educated letter to LucasArts telling them how you feel. If enough people do this, then perhaps something will be done. Keep in mind that the letter needs to be educated, no swearing or irrational threats. I know someone has suggested this before, but it doesn't seem to have gotten through.

 

Been there, done that. Gets you no reply. Hell, there was even a picket outside Lucas Arts a while back apparently, to absolutely no effect.

I do wonder how long this thread will last longer thant now till it gets locked???

 

 

I also thought they did NOT want us to bash companies?

There aren't any mods around to close it, but I fully expect our friend Adria to close, if not delete this thread as soon as she sees it.

Uh, that they'll still get wads of dough for all their sleaziness in the end?

 

 

First, nothing will change that. X-box sales alone should mak ethe game a success

 

Ok, lets run through senerios:

 

1. You pirate the game

 

- This obviosuly hurts LA, but it hurts Obsidian (who worked thier asses off to get the game out by Dec, only to have LA **** it up for them). Basically you would be saying "**** you" to your best friend and worst enemy in this matter. Also, since piracy may be a reason in the PC delay, it can only hurt us in the future.

 

2. You buy the X-box version

 

- just about the worst think you could do

 

3. You wait for the bargin bin

 

- Just like #1 this hurts both Obsidian and LA, just less so than #1

 

4. You trade in games to get a used copy from Gamestop or you buy a used copy

 

- This more or less the same as #1 to these guys. The sales numbers don't go up, and niether party sees a dime.

 

5. You wait for the PC game.

 

Both Obsidian and LA profit just like the X-box version, but the difference is that they profit through PC sales.

 

6. Pirate and send Obsidian money

 

- I guess Obsidian gets money and LA doesn't (assuming Obsidian doesn't send LA their cut), but still it looks bad for Obsidian as it cuts into sales. Plus, as I said before, since piracy may be a reason in the PC delay, it can only hurt us in the future.

 

It's pretty much a no win for somebody that doesn't deserve it, or a win for someone who doesn't deserve it.
