Re: Malfador Games Pirated
I know that when I was in Korea back in 87-88, I could go down to the nearby town and get copies of just about any game they had for the Commodore 64 I had at the time. But they were more than a dollar, IIRC. I think most of the games sold for about $5.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
Well it was more expensive making copies back in 87-88. Esp. if you buy CDs in bulk, you can make copies of programs for pennies each.

Poeple who have no value for other people and the hard work they put into something. They steal something that is not theirs, copy it, and then make money off of selling it to others. These people are parasites and need to be rooted out and killed like deased vermon.
This is why I am a big advocate of conquring the world. If we ruled the worlds, then people who would dare pirate SE IV or any product of Shranels would simply be made to dissappear. Although some day they might find their remains, rest assured they would never be able to identify them.
Then agian, if this was your only means to feed your family, what can do?

Like amazon.com ripping off their customers via third-party resellers?  |

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
SE4 and then SE5 should have additional copywright protection measures ie having to turn to page x and write a word randomly chosen from the text - this would make it harder to simply sell the stolen copy )(i saw that done in elite II) unless they have the booklet they can play onwards.
Other suggestions are welcome but its a big shame so many games are pirated. Its illegal and i agree 100% we should pay for quality games.

The week point with the Page x Paragraph Y Third word is that they can include a single sheet of paper with all of them.
