You go to a software store (i.e. Best buy) and buy a computer game. Take It home but find you are not happy with that game. So you try to get best buy to give you your money back. SInce the game is opened they will not give you a refund nor will they let you get another game in it's place. They will exchange it for another copy only if it is damaged upon opening. (Shrapnel has also done this)
Best buy has no way of knowing if you just copied the game and are trying to steal it by getting your money back. So they have a policy in place that says no refunds on opened software. The fact that Shrapnel is willing to replace your game with some other author's game is in my mind beyond and above anything you would get from a retailer or even most big named software developers.

As for being a minion or not very bright (I think that is what You said in an earlier post) I consider That I am very Intelligent as I work in the computer field and have been playing computer games since they were written in basic and had no display. just words on the the screen. Nor am I a minion of any game company. I play real time games and I play turn based games. When I want to play without planing and time to think about my next action, I play real time games like Myth. When I want to sit back and role play or think about my next action, turn based games are the way to go. So as a turned based game, SEIV is a very good game. (I could send you a box full of games that suck and were put out by big companies with a lot of statements for things they were going to add posted right on the shipping box that they never did.) Unless you are like me and just like to try new games just to see what they are, then you should never buy one just because you think they will add something in the future. You sould buy it because you like the demo/sharware/prior vers. So if you are looking for Web play games, then you should stick to buying thoses that release with it included. Unless they stated that they for sure will have something by such and such date and then don't provide it, there really is no legal case. (I have not seen anyplace were this was stated that Web play would be added with any actual insurance.)
If there is
then post the site locations and I will be glad to review them. This is the best action to take rather then post that we are lacking in brain area or a false statement that your dog can beat the game.(A MORE BELIEVEABLE STATEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN: My 3yr old can beat this game.) which results in others judging you as either being a child in which case you would have no understanding of the legal system (if this is the case then I for one excuse you and withdraw any and all my Posts in this matter.) or that you are an adult with a child like mentality in which case, I really don't know what to say.

As for being the same person, I have never been to the other site so I can not make any statement for this nor do I plan on trying to. I am just sticking with what you have personally wrote.
