Exactly, Cainehill. The game is designed to be played specifically this way, and making a game a certain way is not censorship in any form.

So you choose to play a game, that's your choice, and by choosing to do so you leave certain things up to those who designed the said game, e.g. the rules.

Sure, to circumvent that is "cheating," but who cares? People cheat on video games all the time, and programmers accommodate it. Cheat away, it's your game, you bought it, make it do whatever you want. That's your call. The game itself is the makers call.

I personally spend a lot of time on many games saving and reloading when something goes wrong... I'm glad it's not an option, it removes the compulsion. Works for me.

I can't understand how people can be annoyed by a save feature if they won't use it. Moralism about a videogame played solo by someone else is more than ridiculous IMHO. Saves are a good tool for learning a nation by experimenting different choices at some point, and I doubt that most players didn't copy/reload saves sometimes when they were learning the game.

Anyway, as saving manually is not really hard, there is no good reason for Kristofer to spend his time making an ingame save feature. I prefer to see him adding things to the game that have more purpose than just the economy of 2 clicks for some players.

I just know that because Dom2 lacked Save function I only bought the game when I had nothing else to do (after a year of playing the demo). I didnt feel compulsion to buy it like I did with many other games. I guess it was a deal breaker for me.


And Cainehill that was just too hostile for me to respond.

Well Cainehill tends to be hostile sometimes. I guess it must be his online personality.
