Default Re: Do you want business, or not?

The new patch is out, it came out the middle of this week. Did you try it? I had a list of pet peeves about the games, and found a bunch of bugs. I would say that half my list has been changed and fixed. The new module is pretty fun.
I do agree that the price is a little high for the game I got, but I really like the new changes. I also know this company and they will keep releasing patches and fixes for awhile to come. The support I have gotten for SE4, RS2 has been great. I'm sure this will continue.

Try the new patch (if you didn't already) I think you will like the new changes. I was hoping the community would be bigger but I think things are moving in the right direction, it's just going to take some time.

Even if I think the price was too high for the game I got (which I do - considering Angband and the other Rogue-Likes are more fun, have more options and gameplay depth), in the end I think it will end up being worth it...

EDIT:

(Stands On SoapBox)

You might be mad about the price and the fact you got ripped off (In a way I do too) but it's not cool to basically tell people the steal the game.

There are not that many Indie game companies out there, the developer's needs people the buy the games and can't afford for people to steal them. I fear the day Indie game companies are gone. No major publisher would touch the types of games that Shrapnel does. I have bought 4 games in the Last year or so, in general I have been happy. I'm hoping Shrapnel is around for many years to come.

The Indie scene is the Last hope for games that don't just follow the 'Cookie Cutter' model that the big companies use.

Just something to think about....
