A) Little to no info. = it's not in or
B) Little to no info. = it's in or
C) It doesn't matter, the WORLD IS ENDING and CIV3 WILL SUCK!!!

Obviously right now we know that A and C are the big winners.

You probably also beleive Chandra Levey is alive and well and having a little joke on us all...and that OJ will find the real killer of Nicole and Ron...

Personally I think the poll about the position of the date was the stupidest ever, but that's just my opinion. Oh, and get rid of the stupid ass big font, it makes you look like a moron.

Me or him?

And are you talking about my poll being stupid? I hope not? I think this is a fascinating marketing problem...(as a business consultant).

I hate this argument. If it makes you unhappy, then don't buy it. If it's not worth your money, then don't buy it. They're not forcing you to buy it. They are the ones making the product, they get to set the price. YOU, the consumer, get to decide if you like the price or not. Why should they ask one cent less than you are willing to pay for it? If they ask too much, and people don't buy it, then it's their loss, but so what? It's still their right to set the price. Marketing is about finding the point where profit is maximised. It's not about "how to get this product to whoever wants it for free." This argument is like them setting a price, you NOT buying the game, and the firaxis complaing, saying that it's not FAIR that you didn't buy the game, after they put all that hard work into it.

bah, this is a thread for the off topic forum. but you people are morons.

Indeed, how to sell spam as bona fide posts.

[TCO]

Actually a decent discussion of the economics of game marketing would be way more interesting than most of the threads on this board...

[KrazyHorse]

Not really, and to humble you even further , you're competing with 16 year-olds.

[TCO]

Ozy...is an adult. And only the 16 year olds think of it as competition...rather than discussion. And there is at least one dude on these baords who has a great handle on the actual market performance of gaming companies. Almost like a Wall Street Analyst.

Now quit "poking the bear!"

ook, ook OOK! (Translation: where's my bannana!)

I fear to guess on this.

I think there is a good chance civ3 will ship with MP. If it doesn't, I won't lose any sleep over it.
