      Warez are games that have been hacked so that you can get them without paying a dime. A way to get the game without paying for it, unfortunately that means the producer gets less money and stops making new games.

        Pirated versions of software (including games) which can be found and downloaded from the web.

        They are illegal.

          No it's far more important than that.

          And this thing about warez where tniem seemed to have a snide dig about my stance. Well why should we have to wait any longer than the rest of the world for it? Whatever happened to equality?

            Does the US and Canada constitute the Rest of the World (outside Europe)?

            PH your argument is akin to a man at a supermarket in a long queue, walking out the store without paying, simply because someone else is in a shorter queue.
            One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

              No biggie, 2-3 weeks. We here at Asia-Pacific probably have to wait at least that long too.

                We must wait 2 - 3 weeks? Damn, I wish the EU army would already exist.

                BTW, Provost, for the English it should be much easier: simply buy the US version...
                Blah

                  ” Oh come on, if other games companies can manage a simultaneous release, I am sure a company the size of Infogrames can more than comfortably manage it. As I have stated, there were never any problems with SMAC. Why is Civ3 any different, especially for a European company!!!”

                  Was SMAC released simultaneously?

                  This isn’t an issue of size or origin of the publisher but one of the production and distribution strategies used. SMAC was published by Electronic Arts and both companies have a different organisation, different facilities and different strategies.
                  Maybe EA finds it worth the effort to release games simultaneously or maybe they had the facilities to do so without costing it too much.
                  You can’t tell until you know the technical details of the story.

                    Nope. First it was released in the Asia/Pacific region, a few days later in the US and about a week after that in Europe. I remember I used to flame Americans who said it was unpatriotic that EA released it in Asia first...
