Default Re: SEV - to buy, or not to buy?

Quote:
Most games are shipped caveat emptor with little to no additional support past one or two patches. And these game developers often have large programing staffs with significant budges and they give you squat in return for you purchase. At least Malfador and SFI have on going support for SE V. The simple fact that there have been nearly 1,000 issues addressed since the games release, with more coming, should be reason enough to justify its purchase. Most game developers, the ones with staff and money never reach the level that Malfador has historically set for its game support. If there were gold medal given to game developers for superior support of their games, Malfador would have multiple gold medals.
This is the point exactly. The only "BIG NAME" games I have EVER seen recieve ANY kind of patch after 3 months of release have been Blizzard Games (Diablo 2, Starcraft, etc) and Counterstrike, which initally wasn't "Big Name."

Most computer games now days are massive scams to the consumer. The companies basicly copy some other game in some form because it's a safe investment and give you a crap product because it's guaranteed profit because you can't return it. Why? Because there is the potential that you could be burning it despite the fact that a large majority of people that buy it legitimately may not get it to work on their machines.

SE V recieves continuous support from it's designer and is ever changing. The whole SE series from my understanding is an awesome investment and I have myself now ordered SE IV Deluxe.

It's appearant you expected something different when you bought SEV, but I have to say I find it amusing that you are frustrated that a TURN BASED GAME takes T-I-M-E to play.
