Haven't you guys heard of delayed gratification?
Haven't you guys heard of delayed gratification?
If delayed gratification is any different from instant gratification, I'm going to be mad!![]()
Anyways...
You guys wouldn't want all the surprises to be revealed before you could actually play it, would you? (Note: that was a rhetorical question, and answering yes will not change anything (Especially since I have no say in this matter whatsoever)).

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Well im totally opposed to this tactic as i stated before but i guess that doesnt change anything. About theft i can say that if we are looking forward to a accurate historical product eventually every mod that seriously undertake this task should come up with the same results since history is one not 100. Plus there cannot be copyright in a community meanning that many people contribute others with pics others with comments etc beside the EBteam. Anyway we have discussed that in the past again. My arguement has ideological base if you like. I mean there are the companies with their tactics and consumers. Consumers that are feeling they deserve a better product take situation at hand and form a community of many people interested and few people that are going to ''take the snake out of the hole''. Eventually the core team that rightfully can be proud of their achievements adopts the presentation tactics of the companies.Originally Posted by Crazed Rabbit

Hmmm....Welllll the ideological base of my argument would be that it's their mod, so they can build it whatever way they like seeing as at the end of the day i get if free :)
I mean its not like they're baby-food manufacturers or anything. How they make it doesn't really bother me if it's good.
(Add to checklist of things to do in closed beta tests: Make sure this mod doesn't actually kill babies. At least not in the short term. Some tests may be needed. Must find teh babies first.)Originally Posted by Greek_fire19

A baby-food manufacturer is someone who makes food for babies, or who makes food with babies? I second the latter option!![]()
lol, flip, the trouble a bad joke can get you into in these parts![]()
No, no offence intended idomeneas, I just meant that it's not really a big deal whether they build the mod in absolute secrecy or with total transparency- at the end of the day we wont get to play it till it's released, and as sensible people reserve judgement until they have the product on their computers, its no big deal either which way.
your english is fine![]()
