Well, how else you would write a review? I mean ORIGINAL review? But yeah, I could not understand why would I need another game if I already have one. It turns out it is a reimbursement of the money that you have spent.Originally Posted by Nikolai

By the way, why such strange choice of the game-site "dlgamer"? I bet most of the people bought it from steam and EVERYONE uses steam. That would be better reference point.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

DLGamer offered this deal to Apolyton, the purchase price at DLgamer is lower then at steam.
You can just play the game through steam after you purchased it from dlgamer. dlgamer is just another store where you can buy the game.

I bought it from DLGamer.
At first I wasn't planning to get it at all. Then I reconsidered, but decided not to buy it. Then when I saw the discounts I caved in and bought the damn thing. Firaxis owes me.

Why couldn't you round down to $25.00 like a normal human being? Are you seriously going to give someone $25.19? Loser.

I'm gonna have to concur. Wiggy's banning makes no sense. Unless DLgamer is paying Poly as part of the contest and this is some sort of appease-the-sponsors deal. Normally I'd hesitate to suggest such a thing, but nothing else explains such a grotesque overreaction.

Wiggy's review was accurate, informative, and entertaining. How could there be a better review?

Wiglaf's review, while mentioning homosexual relations (which I hope are legal in Holland), was informative and entertaining. Free Wiglaf!

Wiglaf's review was deleted b/c his edits were against the forum rules. Calling things 'gay' didn't help either. His original review can still be found on our homepage in the spotlight. For the record, bashing things by calling it 'gay' isn't legal in Holland.
Wiglaf's review was accepted and posted on the homepage in the spotlight. (where it still is!)
Then he edited his review and posted all kind of stuff into it that are very against the rules. We then had to delete it. Unfortunately, I must add.

So, if July 11 rolls around and Ozzy's still the only contestant, I take it he wins by default?

I plan to sue for the $25.19 in small claims court
I have won civil suits like this before, typically the contest owner does not show up and I win by default
No, it then wins because it got the most 'thanks'

A sad commentary on Civ5 where where the game is poorly enjoyed that no one wants to take the time with it to write a decent review and win some money.
I do love that the turd that was vanilla Civ5 got a 90/100 on metacritic and excited pre-release coverage from blind fans like Plomp. IGN even gave the even bigger turd Gods and Kings a 9/10 and an editor's choice, effusively praising the addition of 'friendship declarations' and 'denunciations' even though they were included in a patch about a year ago.
Games are getting worse, and so are reviews.
