Is Space Empires V currently over development?

[Kamog]

I played the demo for a long time before I bought the game.

But your not stealing the game Iansidious. you are downloading files. And if you run them you may or maynot be breaking a copyright law. There is a difference.

Downloading a game does not kill it.... It is a lie that is stated over and over and over.

Protential sale does not equal loss of sale.

1 download does not equal 1 loss of sale.

At you gotta stop listening to your music lobby Groups in the USA...

Might I mention again that www.baen.com is taking a different tack with the www.baen.com/library?

Play the Demos, as I do, and if you like them then buy them.

I was think of something different. But you are right, MAY or MAY NOT. I like to buy personally so I don't worry about that kind of thing. But I do enjoy demos!

I dont stop by here very often, but i have read this one as it intrests me.

I am not ashamed to say, I downloaded the game. I download loads of games.... simply because:

I dont like demos, when you have a demo you dont often get to see the full features of a game you just get some time limited thing. I like playing a full game so i can get a real feel for the game then if i like it i go down to the shop and buy the full thing or i delete it off my system and dont speak of it again!

I am happy to say i did the above with space empires 4 and starfury, apart from i ordered Online instead of walking to the shop! if anyone is intrested i can show you a picture of my sheld I have hundreds of games!

and i dont agree that 1 downloaded game = 1 lost sale simply because downloading games makes me buy them! reviews are always usually one sided and i think the only true review is playing it yourself. I wouldnt buy a game without downloading it unless i knew it was good from it being a sequel or freinds.

also simply games are expensive and no one wants to buy something if they dont know they will like it! as i said i dont mind saying i download games, but i am happy to say i also buy them!

Hey what do I care as long as people who download the game buy it. The game is so nitch that every download that does not result in a sale of the game HURTS the development process for the next game in the series because it hurts the developer.

Malfador is only 1 man and not some mega corp like Activision or Atari.
