don't send losers like this your file, let them BUY a Version of SEIV, if Aaron doesn't get paid he can't continue to work on SEIV. Don't be responsible for killing a game like this by pirating it.

I think we should report anyone trying to pirate SEIV.

Agreed, pirating SE IV is a low low thing to do. >:

I agree, anyone who pirates the game is a bad word that I cannot say.

I Agree as I just lost what I thought was a good friend of mine. He got a cd writer as a gift and for months I have been bragging to him about SV4. He wanted to copy it and says that he is at a lost as to why I said no to him. He is a steady gamer who has been playing for years,yet he does not ,to me want to protect our great hobby.

Hey You guys take this pretty good, the guys on The B-17 2 board really take Pirates and Warez guys to the store

. I mean if someone comes with an Excuse like my dog ate the manual then boy you better duck LOL

.

Then they have the nerve to tell us we are losers for buying it

I just never could understand how those guys think they're right. IMO, how would MM ever justify developing SE4 if they only sold 2 copies of SE3 and everyone else just copied it.

Tell 'em to move to China where pirating is "overlooked". Then MAYBE they would have a little ground to stand on...

If you look at the game in general with all it's fantastic and changeable features, it's almost infinite possibilities to adjust it very easily to your own taste, the time and effort Aaron spends to make the game all the time better, what " commercial competitors" dare to bring on the market and charge for it, what a fantastic ratio between price and what you get for it:

NOBODY in the world should have a comfortable sleep using an illegal copy of any game or program, but if you would illegally copy this indeed BEST EVER strategic game, ZEUS himself should strike them with lightning. I have never had a better after sales feeling than with this game.

If people were trustworthy, then non-US people could copy their CD for friends, who would then send MM the proper payment, minus the shipping cost. Result: everyone's happy, and global warming is reduced.

But, sadly, most people are not that trustworthy. What a shame. Let us all work to make the world a place where the only law needed is love. Meanwhile, obey the law! Copying software is STEALING!
