I am one of those who feel I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of PtW, and if the CD ends up shelved because of Conquests – oh well. But for the sake of argument, even if that weren’t true it would still be difficult for me to feel exploited because (a) nothing is forcing me to buy Conquests the moment it comes out. I could always play PtW until I “got my money’s worth” and then buy C3C, 6 months, a year, two years down the road, or never. It’s that whole free will thing. (b) Ending up with a “useless” PtW CD when I buy C3C assumes that I will enjoy all the new aspects of C3C so much I will never want return to PtW, or appreciate the old XP for the aspects that have not been changed. Before even playing Conquests, this is a very difficult thing to determine.
That said, my sense of outrage is a little lower than some others, as I hung around and played CtP2 until I read in these forums that the games (for Civ III then PtW) were basically fixed before buying them. So I’ve never contended with the same level of bugginess as others.
