Whats funny about it? I used LTC to correct the two handed bug issue and the shield fix. I didnt mod it myself, but I know it worked.


Its confirmed practice in companies that make it bigtime - smaller independent companies keep much more adequate support and even some large ones (like for example Blizzard) that kept on promoting their older games and their cult by continuous support.
Small independent companines support thier games because they need to be supported, and the additional content engenders a broader fanbase. It dosent negate the fact that at release, thier products needed help as well, again, you pick the title...

No i am suggesting that M2 & Kingdoms are the first TW releases that get considerably less support than the previous ones. I am not interested in other games, the industry or its trends.
If your not intrested in the industry or its trends then this conversation is pointless, and so is your particpation, because we are commenting on a trend in the gaming industry.



I am certainly not pointing fingers to you or anyone else - if you played mp TW ever you'll well know what i am talking about if not i apologise: there was a whole thriving mp community eversince STW that got fragmented with every subsequent release due to the bugs and imbalances and the engine discontinuity; that community apparently was as big or bigger than the current one, even though internet was not as widespread those days. Mods fragment the community even more because mp players need to "abandon" their winning strategies to get accustomed to a mod or version; also it is vital that bugs like the 2hand are fixed directly for that community to grow.
I didnt take your comment personally, its just a matter of speak really. I did play STW many moons ago, I get your point.



Maybe so, then perhaps CA can confirm your view that so we can all start finding better things to do with our free time then.
Why confirm the obvious? Again, pick the title you want, most games released now have an avid fanbase doing bug checks and reporting them at fan forums like this one.

For free ! why would any gaming company not encourage this?
