OT: Do Not Buy Alert

[couslee]

I am not a simcity fan at all, but I know what you mean about crappy games. My condolences if you are talking about this one from personal experience. Some of the garbage these game companies put on the shelves, is enough to make a Royal Frigate turn pirate.

Did they have a demo? I have noticed lately that "no demo available" games are crap, and those that have a demo are fairly decent.

It's like Civ3. No demo. I DL a hacked Version, and if it was good I would have gone and bought the game. It wasn't, the hack got deleted as planned, and the my money went elsewhere.

The gamers have a lot more power than they realise sometimes. If NO ONE bought a demo-less game, they all would have demos. If they didn't buy subsequent games due to past rip-offs, the industry would start producing quality as the rips would be out of business. granted, that would take time before the effect would be noticable, but ya gotta start somewhere.
