IIRC, the whole "Steel Panthers" name, game, concept, is copyright SSI/Mattel. The deal cut by Matrix with Mattel to allow the resucutation of this fine game hinged on an agreement that Matrix not charge for the game. Thus the (now) thousands of manhours of work done since vesion 1 made them a LOT of fans, but $$? Nada! Bumpkiss! Sqat!
A note to all forum members:
Please bear that in mind when thinking about asking for new features & "wouldn't it be cool if..." The Matrix Team (especially David) WANT to please everybody. Really! But SPWaW can never make them a dime [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img] Perhaps we should accept the features of V4 as they are. These great "cool" ideas should not be wasted though [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] rather, let's look for these ideas to appear in a future (commercial) game. Perhaps Matrix can do a WWI game, or a game we can codename Steel Panthers 4, a good strategic fleet game, maybe something like "Harpoon" or "Tanks". Whatever. Squash the real bugs in SPWaW 4, but call it done for the features.
We've all seen how Matrix responds to gamer input when working for free. Let's see how they do when we're paying them [img]http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
