The unfortunate facts are simple and clear:
Three months ago I was very excited about Flaming Cliffs.
One month ago, I was checking all around to find out when it would be out, credit card in hand.
The day I heard about Starforce, and the activation scheme, that all went away. I dont like being disapointed, and I really am very disapointed I wont get to play FC, but there are very few things you can do that make less likely to support your product than treat me poorly. And I feel that the devs gave into fears and no doubt a strong marketing pitch, and made what I consider a huge error in judgement. At this point the chances of a recovery are about zilch. They cannot un-do the decisions they have made, and I doubt they would anyway.
We will never know how many more copies would have been sold if the activation and protection scheme where not there. I can only tell you that there is one less here....and I have advised everyone I know to avoid the game. This will be my last post in this forum as I have seen no sign the devs intend to treat me as a customer, and I just dont like the idea of being led around in the shackles everytime I want to play FC.
