Hello Caravel, hello Martok, hello MTWers and Mainhallers,
hope you are all doing fine, its been a while.

As most of you know well, MTW has got quite some issues with newer pcs and in particular certain series of newer graphics cards. It has been long speculated that CA could perhaps give a few hours to fix the problem and even a thread that requested the code of the game was publicly released so the community could attempt to fix that and other issues. At the same time the long silence of CA developers on all MTW forums regarding the issue was more than discouraging, despite the fact that MTW has quite some following for a game that old.

I am afraid that i stumbled upon a post in the .com that signifies conclusively (at least to my judgement) that there is not one in a billion that CA will do anything for MTW and its remaining fans.

You can find the post here;

WoCLancelot, the poster, is in all probability the admin of the well known MP site Clan Community Shield;

and as such his word can be absolutely trusted, at least from my point of view.

This means what many of us already knew for quite sometime now; that MTW is left to die a slow and painful death to oblivion. Not only that, but as it is mentioned in the post the battle edition is being sold to this day with stickers that read "Vista Comptatible".

Not exactly a great way to go for such a great game, and not exactly the best treatment of a part of the original TW fanbase that was crucial in TW and CAs ascend.
