I Want My Money Back!!!!
 

You read it right, I want my money for this game! No where is it written in the manual or does it say that it would be an addictive life altering diVersion from reality.

There were no warning lables telling me that I would be helplessly sucked into the game for hours, sometimes days on in.

Where on the CD or in the game manual does it list the side effects of playing the game? I did not see anything telling me that I would suffor from "just one more turn" syndrom, forum addiction, and other 4x game illurgic reactions!

I want my money back because I need it to pre-order SE V!

Also where was no warning lable advising me that SE IV would suck up my free time like a super massive black hole? I often wonder how many poeple have lost their jobs because of this game and the JOMT (Just One More Turn) syndrom?

Oh ya, one other side effect of playing this game aside from Forum Addiction, is that it compels me to write stories and make ship sets. It is spooky!

Not to mention the dreams, the endless desire to promote it, the wanting inner most craving to play it, even when I am asleep, and above all else, the cost, both in time as well as in cash, needed to satisfy my SE IV cravings.

Not to mention the fact that one starts refering to one's self as Grand Overlord of the Universe and begins to talk in third person.

His Grand Emperor Combat Wombat finds this to be far to true.

Well you see AT, there's only one flaw with your logic. You see, when you bought the game, there had been no human testing of the possible effects the game may or may not have on those of us unfortunate enough to become addicted.

You, and others like you unwittingly served as guinea pigs. You were the human testing. I say you request that Malfador sends you a free copy of SEV when it's out, as a 'payment' for your services rendered as a human guinea pig.

I remembered when I was playing the SE3 demo on my brand new computer back in 2001. I never won a game, was losing every combat, my research was all over the place. Yet every night, I came home, fired it up, and spent all night playing. Then the SE4 demo was released, same thing, I never survived to the 100 turn limit, but I kept coming back. I bought the full version, never knowing if I'd ever actually win.

I knew what was coming and I went for it anyway. I deserve no sympathy.

I want my time back, the 1000+ hours I spent playing the game. I could have used the time to study and gotten a college diploma or something.

I don't want my time back...I have little better to do most of the time anyways. At least until I go to university http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: I Want My Money Back!!!!
 

Rest assured; you will have just as much free time most of the time in university as well. Until finals week, of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

They say that we fill our free time up with things that we want sub-consiously.

For many of us who fill our free time playing SEIV, we must want to be Supreme Overlords who reign as Emperors over vast interstellor empires.
