And you know what? If/when Planescape: Torment comes out? Multiply this server hammering by a jillion.

I, too, cannot log in. I know they redid the site so it could handle more traffic, but they must be getting absolutely slammed. There really is no such thing as bad publicity.

Dramicus posted:Screw Planescape, I want System Shock 2. Yeah, that's in the hands of Electronic Arts, who don't give one tenth of a poo poo about the series. If that is ever re-released in any way, shape or form, play it while you can because it'd be a sign of the apocalypse.

They are just limiting the bandwidth so they can brag "We got millions of new users". Obviously.

Even if this is the case, at least the community cares enough about their ideology to be emotionally involved and pissed off. I'll be waiting patiently to give them my money and back up my games to help prove that an honor system can work if you offer superior services... as long as they don't pull that poo poo again.

I just remembered another reason they need to get EA on board. Old Maxis games. I would kill a man, perhaps two, to be able to play SimAnt and the original SimCity again. Two for each game. Especially SimCity because all the new stuff is too complicated for me.

I don't think SimCity 4 is immensely more complicated than SimCity 1, the basics are all there and it wouldn't be a huge chore to learn the new features one at a time. edit: Ok thats cute. edit 2: beaten.

I've just remembered the guy who claimed to have figured out that someone, most likely Atari SA, probably bought out the GOG.com guys' company. I forget the thread, but I wonder how much poo poo the guy's getting right now.

Aaaaaand the site's down again. Shame, I'd REALLY like to see the bilious rage in the forums. Just ONE picture of Hitler or the Nazi invasion/occupation of Poland. Is that too much to ask?
