Yes, and I eat buttered babies that I cover in fudge.

No one is getting fat of dominions, if you don't believe me you can look on the shots from origins. Neither JK nor Kristoffer is making anywhere near a regular salary of their dominions work. So if they were only in it for the money they would spend their time elsewhere. That said illwinter is not the Mahatma Gandhi of the game industry, illwinter does not eschew money, if illwinter made buckets of money everyone here would be delighted, but both JK and Kristoffer are for the most part more interested in doing what they feel like when they feel like it than making money.

There seem to be an odd sense of entitlement underlying some of the Posts here. The demo is free. It is intended as a teaser and as an example of what you'll get if you buy the game. The demo as it stands does just that. I don't get why a limit on the demo pisses anyone off. Releasing the demo is a market device. It is the equivalent of a movie trailer, and much like the movie trailer it is incomplete and intended to be so. Complaing about it's limit like you have somehow been tricked or robbed by it is absurd and infantile.


Karacan: are you named Björn Lösing (I don't recall the exact spelling) by any chance? Also you can still netplay with your friends, only you have to finish or upgrade in 40 turns.

EDIT: I just wanted to point out that I did not mean to imply atrocities in this post since I assumed his cry of despair was good natured and joking.
