Aaron I want my money back!

Atrocities · #1 June 19th, 2003, 07:45 AM

You read it right, I want my money for this game! No where is it written in the manual or does it say that it would be an addictive life altering diVersion from reality.

There were no warning lables telling me that I would be helplessly sucked into the game for hours, sometimes days on in.

Where on the CD or in the game manual does it list the side effects of playing the game? I did not see anything telling me that I would suffor from "just one more turn" syndrom, forum addiction, and other 4x game illurgic reactions!

I want my money back because I need it to pre-order for the Star Fury!

Also where was it written that SE IV would suck up my free time like a super massive black hole? I often wonder how many poeple have lost their jobs because of this game and the "just one more turn" syndrom?

Oh ya, one other side effect of playing this game aside from Forum Addiction, is that it compels me to write stories and make ship sets. It is spooky!

It's an ATROCITY!!!!

Taz you are sooooooooooooo right about that!

Aaron could market SE V as "The first 4x game that will cost you your job, wife, life, and reality."

Hence he should name SE V Space Empires V; Atrocities.

Not to mention physical injury... Too much mouse work during endless 'just one more turn' nights can leave one with serious RSI (Repetitive SEIV injury)

Reasons to ask for your money back:

1. Space Empire Addiction Syndrom (SEAS)
2. Repetative Space Empires Injury (RSEI)
3. SE IV Forum Addiction
4. The Game sucks up all your free time
5. Stimulates ones imagination and creative writing
6. Will ruin your eye sight (Starring at monitor all night long.)
7. "Just One More Click" syndrom (JOMC)
8. It will become your reality
9. My cause you to loose your job, wife, and life.
10. So you can save up and buy SE V.

Aaron, Your cities will burn with vengeful fire!!

I can honestly say that next to Rebellion, and BOTF, SE IV has proven to be one of the most addictive 4x games that I have ever boughten. The money I spent on this game was so small compared to the many enjoying hours of game play, modding, ship making, discussion, etc. that it has given me.

Shhhhhh,
He will raise the price. (and we will still buy it).
