Board 8 > In other "EA is evil" news, Wing Commander 1&2 are now on GOG

(+) Yeah! (+)

...without their expansion packs. Because they require licensing separately, and apparently the process is "very very difficult" for expansions.

Still, $6 for two genre-defining classics is pretty awesome. You just get two campaigns instead of six. And Operation Thor's Hammer and Crusade are stupidly difficult anyway...

lol not actually owning anything
lol at developers selling you half of a game and forcing you to buy dlc
lol at having to always be connected to the internet

there are upsides and downsides to both. I use Steam. I have about 10 digital games that I don't own, because you don't own anything when it's all digital. You are borrowing their product. Just wait until you don't actually make one payment either, and instead are forced to pay monthly/yearly fees.

You want a physical copy of an MS-DOS game that came on floppy disks? Really?

Can I kick it?

My comments were neither about Gog.com or Wing Commander. It was about the future of digital distribution. Don't be upset, my friends.

so you are coming into this topic and arguing about nothing relevant? and claiming others are "upset" when they are simply mocking whatever silly thing you say next?

good stuff.

Don't be offended by comments I make. 75% of what I say is me just passing through a topic and watching you get upset over nothing.
