Furious Spaniards with Infogrames

[Thrawn05]

Damn, I can't remember the last time I saw a thread like this. I can't believe that Firaxis is still giving those in Spain such a hard time.

I said it before Alfonso, and I'll say it again, I side with you.

ABAJO INFOGRAMES

Sounds like IG used the Altavista translator on Civ III

It's no joke these days. I regularly buy the US version of games because even the UK English version cannot be guaranteed full support. Luckily I'm able to afford to pay the extra costs.

If you're going to publish in a local area and use different copy protection, language or other restrictions that make patches incompatible I believe you should commit to doing it properly and supporting the product fully throughout its lifecycle. Having said that, its easy for me to take this stand since if they don't publish in the UK I don't have to learn a whole new language to get most of the games I want (although some Japanese games would be exceptions.)

:hmm: I just can't comprehend some of the Spanish in here.

Hey, I could ask my aunt to translate it... (not sure why they got a bad translation though)

EDIT: I was just going to say "There's a "Version in English" link when I noticed someone already beat me to it.

An alliance ? No problemo, just give us Sanitation, Gems, Coal and 329gpt

Infogrames won't do a thing about it. There's no way they sell enough Spanish versions of the game to justify any more than their pathetic efforts thus far.

They're a "bottom-line only" company at this point

I feel your pain

It sucks that Firaxis has you on the low end of the Totem pole, but they can't complete all of the versions at the same time (although yiou would think they would at least have a 1.29 version by now) In the US; Mac users are experiencing similar problems to yours, and they are not a happy group of people either.

[Drake Tungsten]

Just buy the US version and stop whining. You'll all be Americans in a few decades anyway; you might as well get a head start on your assimilation.

I fully support you on this. Wish we could really do something about the awkward behaviour of this publisher on so many issues by now. It looks like the only thing we can do is not buying their stuff until we are sure it does what it promises to do.

Unfortunately we always hope for the best and buy it anyway. Stupid we.
