Terrible news

[Tunch Khan]

Not so good news

In Turkey we have saying, "in every bad event, there is a good occasion"
So the unlucky event of pirating will maybe lead to an early and developed patch for us loyal fans. So that even the people who actually dwnld the game will have to buy the original. I'm optimistic..

With HOI version 1.01 came out before the game...

We didn't need some ********-***** ****** ***** pirates to make that happen either.

Well I doubt that as I doubt that Paradox are going to start patching a game for pirates.

 

[Tunch Khan]

I know, i know, but it's an incentive...

Has there been piracy happening with Vickie? How did that happen? Some dumb-ass beta?

Some dumb ass press dude.
I´m sure the betas are clean.

Well, it either has to be something relating to the short opening of the beta forum(although I seem to remember that it was said nothing was stolen of importance) or a beta, right?

No. Apparently, it was a reviewer copy Paradox gave to the press.

yes, it is unfortunate that victoria leaked out. I was rather suprised to hear that, because official release is more than week away. But i belive, that old fans who have been with paradox since EU1(like me), will buy the game(even if they "preview" the game before), so no big harm is, hopefully done. Because the pre-orders for this game are mainly done by old veterans...newcomers join the community as time passes, and that pirated copy would have anyway surfaced sooner or later, after the offical release.
Hope this game is going to be a great success!(in long term)

Yeah I really hope that Paradox doesn't suffer for this. Vicky has been under publicized so hopefully that might work in their favor this time. And like you said most people here will order the game, I ever remember one of the Mods or Betas saying that they would buy it.

i really dont know how the pirating of this game is 'good news'!!

Im sure we all appreciate the time and effort theparadox team have put into making this game and they must be really p***ed off and deflated by this.

Paradox are the only company that make strategy games with the level of detail that I (And i'm sure may others) want and if these games are pirated, resulting in loss of income for paradox then surely this reduces our chances of further games??

good news my arse!!!!

I just humbly tried to cheer up some saddened people like myself, of course it is an insult to hard work. But what happened has happened, and we cannot set the time back. So i was trying to find some other distractions...

This is might be bad news, but I refuse believe this 'leaking' is automatically the same thing as shooting yourself in the leg...

And if you happen to have a better suggestion please don't hesitate to share it with the community.

I have to agree (and hope!) on that.
I wish Paradox to score great selling numbers with Victoria.
It usless (because yet said thousand times) say again how few are strategy game of such deepness and level and how much Paradox support his products.

tunch khan.

a better suggestion for what??

all i am trying to point out is that this cannot possibly be good news for paradox or us, the people who enjoy paradox games.

nevermind then... u did not get my point..

 

[unmerged(11593)]

i get your point mate........

but im a bit sickend by this turn of events.. i just cant see any good in it!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkrenown]

Can't Pardox sue the reviewer or their company for loss of earnings or somesuch? Surely when they send out review copies the reviewer has to sign something saying they won't pirate the game or publish it themselves etc.?

On a side note, anyone remember Moo3? A beta version send for review to an Austraian games map and they released it on the coverdisk as a demo.
