That ends my involvment in this |
First of all, DRG, thank you. The following isn't a reply to you.
I don't appreciate the "legally owned" part, but I will skip it.
I checked my emails.
On the 18th of May I received such email. I didn't pay attention to it. In my defense I never in the about quarter of a century I have email accounts ever before received an email telling me of patches stop being available after some time. Even when a company goes out of business, the patches still remain available either in some FTP server or 3rd party sites. Absurd to say the least.
I don't know if I will contact support. IIRC I kept buying the games (bought more than one over the years) with guest accounts because I hate to create accounts. Yes it would take me like 2 minutes, I know.
I am pissed off with the whole thing and seriously considering just never buying anything from either Shrapnel or Ibology. If they can't be bothered to have a file available for download, why should I bother with buying anything from them again.
Never in my life have I experienced something like this before. Even when developers/game series jump ship to other companies, you get to download patches for as long as the companies exist. Hell, I know of companies which went out of business and still somehow there were servers available for the games they published.
Mind boggling.
I don't plan on posting anything again about this matter.
Disgusted and Camo Workshop is not at fault for anything.
Thanks for your tolerance.
