I think they did release a few as freeware at some point, that Mech turn based game I can't think of the name of and "The War Engine", although I don't know if the War Engine game was actually from Matrix or not. Edit: The "Mech game" was called Titans of Steel ;)

And of course there's PacWar and War in Russia.

OrpBde -> RE: discountinued games (10/26/2008 10:59:14 PM)
cause sometimes you cant find them in the stores and some people dont have a credit card to buy them online.people do buy them offline or online but might want an extra copy to have for backup on dvd or cdr

ilovestrategy -> RE: discountinued games (10/26/2008 11:29:31 PM)
Does he mean like Age of Rifles for example?

OrpBde -> RE: discountinued games (10/26/2008 11:34:52 PM)

Well tell me this.. If WiTP(80 bucks or so)was released and it was known that it would be free in 2-5 years or so, how many wouldnt buy it. There would be quite a few. Same with retail releases of Matrix games. I bought quite a few for 5-10 bucks down in Texas at a Gamestop. I waited on buying those from the site because I knew retail always sends 'em to the bargain bin after a time. Matrix lost some money on me. True I wouldnt have bought a few but there are quite a few fence sitters like me.

LGAA? [&:] Never really expected it to be supported, but there's no game forum, either. If Matrix took it down because of lack of interest, so be it. PoE (aka ivanmoe)

I forgot that anyone who can learn to play an ultra-complicated strategy game using tutorials from .pdf manuals are more patient than an average gaming junkie[:'(].
