Payment options.

[Grrr]

Just wondering, after all this rumour of pay-per-play, which do you prefer, a one of $100 to buy the CD, or a free patch and $1 per game.

Figures are only exemplary.

[Adagio]

Pay-per-play and pay-per-month both sux big time

[Mannamagnus]

I'd rather buy the CD and get free playability.

I want to pay 25 cents/month for ten years.
And I want a foldout tech poster!

[Thrawn05]

Grrr, seriously, you're scarring me.

Ming, Mark! Delete this thread quick before Firaxians actually see this and even consider it!!!

[Grrr]

I think the Firaxians have much worse plans for this.

Hell, the way things go with Firaxis, the ONLY way you can play MP is to pay for the use of their servers.

[ACooper]

Lots of wild ass guessing going around here!

How did it work for Civ 1 and 2 MP? That may be how it will work for 3 MP.

If there is ANY additional fee beyond the PTW (and I am not even sure I will buy it: depends on price and MORE importantly: what's in it for that price), then count me out. There are a number of good games out there are require monthly fees to play, and I am not/will not play them for that reason and that reason alone.

[Tuberski]

I will only buy PtW if it has something besides MP. I don't play MP so I see no real reason to buy it.

[Darkknight]

I don't want to pay for something that should have been in the game from the start. But that said if it was €15 or less I'd pay for it. Anything else no way I'd much rather stick to playing EU2

[Cookie Monster]

I'm really gonna get ballistic if they make us pay per play. That is the ultimate form of American Capitalistic Satanic Greed.

Maybe I shouldn't hold back how I really feel about pay per play but I don't want to scare anyone.

[Inverse Icarus]

the firaxians devised a system in which you put 4 quarters in the middle of their cd (they made the hole a bit bigger, they dont need all that room for data) each time you want to start a new game. or so i'm told.

[ACooper]

How did this pay to play rumor get started?

Seem's like everyone is getting worked up over some wild speculations.

[notyoueither]

It's the Poly way.

[nationalist]

I think that those of us who bought the limited edition Civ 3 should be able to turn in our tin and get a 50% discount off of PtW. Afterall, the Limited edition was a complete rip-off. Maybe they could take pity on suckers like myself.
