Ever Consider Making an EB PC Game?

[Pharnakes]

We should start a registered charity, something along the lines of :SPCIG (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Intelgent Gamers)

Ok, here is the situation.

1. EB is NOT going commercial, EVER.
2. CA makes games we mod them. EB is a MOD of a CA game called Rome Total War.
3. CA gets increased sales and we get a great new sandbox every few years.
4. We get a way to make a game as we see fit, you get a free game which a lot of people like, CA and SEGA get increased sales.
5. If the price of that is some "bugs" that slipped through the THOUSANDS of lines of codes, is that too high?
6. It took CA MANY titles to reach the present state of "Total war" games and franchise. As the level of technology available was increasing, so did both the complexity and the level of commitment those guys put in. I am still amazed when I look at a TW game, be it RTW or M2TW that we are so fortunate to play them. What makes people think that we could just snap our fingers and "PRESTO", insta game with NO limitations?

There is a saying which describes the current state of affairs...

If it ain't broke, DON'T fix it!

I dunno, seems to me mods are at the same time detrimental to CA, because it increases the lifespan of their older engine while they want everyone focused on their new shiny engine.

Is it actiualy a signifigant portion of people even n=know about mods though? I mean I only found out by a combination of lucky accident and my overwelming nerdishness....


Surely the majority of customers never bither to try to find out about mods and such, just sticking with the vannila titles from CA (and probably realy enjoying them, I remember that I used to really like RTW, before I knew any better)

Well, once we start modding Roma universalis, more people might know us.

There will never be a standalone EB PC game.
