ORIGINAL: Numdydar ADG who owns the rights to WiF is STILL trying to sell PHYSICAL copies of the board game. So the computer version of WiF is in DIRECT competition with sales of the board game. So if a digitial copy of WiF was offered, what do you think would happen to sales of the actual board game? Rapiadly approch zero would be my guess. I think this release even without an AI is going to have a major impact already. So no reason to accelerate the process even more. Which begs the question of why ADG allowed the PC version to be done in the first place? Besides, it's not in direct competition of the board-game. Aside from the WIF fans, I suspect there are very few people contemplating buying the PC version that would even think for a second of buying the board-game, if for no other reason than the sheer size of it. Hell, I wouldn't have space for the map, let alone the entire game. quote:
So if you are that upset about the physical copy, simply do not buy it. But Matrix/ADG are NOT doing this just to make things more difficult for you to buy the game. So why are they doing it? I know the party line; "the game wouldn't be the same without the books"..... Which is fine to a point, but why not let the buyer decide what he/she needs? quote:
But please stop complaining about it and lets start discussing game realated stuff which I find much more interesting than yet another thread on this. I'd love to discuss the game. Except I can't get it without paying 50% more for it. Oh, and btw the physical copy from ADG? Shipping is included in the $99 price...Funny that. Please understand that I'm not trying to nitpick, nor am I cursing anyone out or threatening to stop buying Matrix games until such a time as they make the books in mauve covers, or any nonsense like that. I am quite seriously trying to understand the reasoning behind this decision. Because no matter how I look at it, it makes no sense whatsoever. It's about the same as selling WitP:AE and then forcing people to adopt a pet giraffe as well.
