Regardless of whether the petition "worked" or not. Many thanks are in order. Though it does bug me, that though the site admins have explained about the validity of the membership here, and thus the petition, that you have branded the petition thread as "worthless" and ignored their posts. I won't dwell on the subject however.

I find the support to be fine on the whole. The issue I have always had is the reselling of old titles such as STW and MTW, particularly the former, and seemingly not confirming that they function correctly on Windows XP, and with newer graphics hardware. These issues appear to be simply hushed up at the official forums and the threads closed. STW has XP problems with the in game videos cusing crashes and various other isues, MTW has CTD problems some of which are unresolved. Considering that these games are now being resold along with RTW as the "Total War: Eras" box, with an RRP of £44.99 in the UK and MTW is also being resold as the "Gold Edition", why are further patches to fix these issues not feasible?
