Hey!! Let's all hire one of those lawyers that doesn't charge you unless they win. They will also tell you if you have a case because they want their 30-40% of the settlement for their fee...

Well that leaves J'inn out.

I've only bought one other Activision game since SFC3. As soon as a realised my mistake I took the product back and got a refund. Are they any others here boycotting Activision products?

So ACTIVISION you're at least losing my sales over this issue.

I would boycott Activision, but i want to buy Rome: Total War when it comes out.

Ahhh!!!! Their making it!?!?!?!? Crap!! Nooo!!

That sucks! Thats the only game im getting off them....the only!!!!

But Rome's not out till next year. Plenty of time to NOT buy Activision games - especially in the Christmas run up.

..and all they gotta do is be more proactive with this patch business.

This might seem like a dumb question, but what drove viacom/paramount into making a deal with act o' crap anyway??

If I were to have to guess, judging by all the MechBunnies out there, ATVI having MechWarrior 2 is probably a factor into why Viacom went with them. Before MechWarrior 2, the only people who knew what BattleMechs were, are those people who played either Robotech or BattleTech. Now 'Mech is almost a household word, and look who bought the license to the MechWarrior series after MW2:Mercs...Microsoft! If M$ buys a license it had to have been good right?

Who here has even heard of MechWarrior 1? Not very many of you I would guess, and some that had would prolly only know of it cause...well, they had a Mech2, so shouldn't they have had a Mech 1? Mechwarrior 1 was a far better game than MechWarrior 2 was, but the graphics engine was slightly subpar (for the time it was released). You'll never find Mechwarrior 1 anywhere though, Harmony Gold made sure of that.

No matter how cool the game looks, I'm not sure why anyone here would want to buy another game from Activision at this point. What if it has a major, game breaking bug on release? Are you willing to wait a year or more for a patch that may never come?

I've given serious thought to waiting for the first patch before buying a game. I usually don't buy a game at release. I wait. But, I get tired of waiting and take a chance. Usually, I don't have many problems running the game, although the game mechanics run buggy and can be frustrating.

Playing POTC now. I bought it about 3 weeks ago. It was released in July and the first patch is still not out. Bethesda / Akella seem to be slow too. Not as long as SFC3 I know. POTC does have the advantage of being quite easy to mod. Several gamers have worked out the major bugs and added some interesting content.

Just talking

whell i'd like to mention that armada 1& 2 are bugy for egzampel the sound in the 1'st is bugy olmost imposebul to play plus acopele of non ending ckrashes and the sort or call to power for that mater.

and idont think a lowsute is going to work becose lots of companes are laisy abult patches and arent the developers suposte to produse them

The developers do make the patches.. and Taldren has done so, and is still doing so.. squishing the last of the bugs... It is up to the Publisher to give approval of the patch for release.. in the case of Starfleet Command III, Activision is the Publisher who holds all the cards and they have not released any patch Officially.. they only released a Beta Patch almost a year ago... as for Taldren releasing the patch, Taledren does not have a say in Patch release.. they only make the fixes and send them to Activison.. Activision has to test play the game, Quality Assure the patch, then they release if it is to their staisfaction...

So no, the Developer doesn't just get to release the patch, unless they have recieved the rights from the publisher to do so...

thanks
