[quote who="Gnome_De_Plume" reply="666" id="3726347"] You’ve lived a very charmed life so far. Some day, something outside your control is going to happen, and you’ll have to change your mind about what you’d planned on doing as well, and I hope that you are surrounded by understanding and open minded people. [/quote] Nice assumptions.

[quote who="BionicDance" reply="661" id="3726325"] That's some pretty hard-core all-or-nothing, dude. Baby? Bathwater? Bah! Who needs 'em! Now, if you had a large enough base behind you--couple thousand, hundred thousand, maybe the better part of a million--Stardock might go, "Whoa. Okay. Problem for sales, here." But somehow I think they can weather the loss of one customer; your protest, in the end, ain't gonna

Changing you mind on the use of aliens from previous games is something I feel very strongly about. It's enough that you will (have) lose me as a custome

None of them. I've made my feeling on this very clear both here and on reddit. One of the things that attracted me to this project was your promise to not use the original aliens. You have gone back on that, and I can't find the words to express just how disappointed I am with Stardock. I want a refund, but don't want to be used as evidence. I want a refund of every Stardock game in my library. I've uninstalled all Stardock's games. That's as close as

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="78" id="3712685"] Frog, My challenge was directed to the Fred n Paul crowd. Stardock does not need to prove ownership of those assests, Fred n Paul do, thus my statement. They claim "creatorship" of SC1 & 2 lets see evidence. [/quote] It's a pretty weak challenge when made from the safety of the founders only forum.

I can't decide what is more annoying..the side that insists Stardock can do no wrong, or the side that insists P&F can do no wrong. I thought we were done the the pointless circular misunderstandings of law?

[quote who="Jafo" reply="548" id="3711793"] Grabbing onto individual comments [from elsewhere/where-ever] and analysing them with presumption and supposition is good exercise for typing skills...and little else. It can't even be [much of] a 'debate' as that would require two sides of equivalent ignorance - muddying the waters until all are drowned in the resulting swamp. [/quote] Welcome to the internet.

It isn't hard to figure out that "Stardock making a new Star Control game" will generate more interest than "Stardock making new space game".
