So why don't you go away and come back once you have the game and stop causing so much bad kharma?

Tired of ads?

I only read the title of this post really, but I have to say that you are out of your mind if you think even a meaningful percentage of people who read this forum (which is definately a very small subset of the people who will ultimately buy moo3) have the will power to refrain from buying moo3 even if they was upset with IG.....

I know Id drive two or three hundred miles just to get it early at this point :P

Yeap, just like fanboi and game player. You assume that anyone who will buy the game is a fanboi. A lot will hate it I'm sure.

IG hasn't really treated anybody badly, in relation to other games. But compared to how open they were about MOO3, it does feel like they are treating us poorly. So I guess it is their fault for being so open at the beginning.

ACK!

Ice skates? We usually just call them "skates".
Also, have you ever heard of Rugby? Football looks passive compared to Rugby...

Anway, back to the topic. Vee, stores do not have MoO3 yet. No they are not sitting in the back, waiting to be put on the shelves. Trust me on this one, once MoO3 gets to the stores (or atleast the stores in my city) I will let you peeps know.

sorry hit the wrong button continuing... several problems one he wont have the game and secondly if our visions come true (the complete and utter implosion of IG) we wont have anyone to publish our games for us. And lastly, the game is coming out tuesday, timing unfortunately has sapped what little power your argument had

@MitchDev: All you are doing so far is complaining and calling people names. You have no real arguments. You have no evidence to present to this board regarding the reasons for the MOO3 release date being what it is. All your comments thus far have been made from a point of ignorance.

There are many possible reasons why the release date of 2/25/03 was chosen and so far you have not been able to disprove any of those possibilities. Either give us some evidence for your ceaseless complaining or just stop complaining.

Once the game comes out, maybe you will have something to actually base your complaints off of, rather than your simple frustration and lack of patience and understanding.

You know, you could always mail IG and tell them what you think of their decisions.

This method must be very effective, as the IGmoo moderators are meanwhile banning the people who suggest it, using a poor innocent girl from PR department as an excuse. Apparently we are supposed to have compassion with her because she is unable to do her job and represent the company which pays her. What an excellent reason to ban people.

I hope IG dies quickly, watching this agony makes me sad. Of course they will blame it on their evil customers again, who are all idiots and pirates.

Mitch, just out of curiosity what part of the US do you live in? I don't think it's the southern part. I would think northeast. New York would be my guess. Am I right? And based on your post to viciouscycle, you went to public school right?
