[quote who="vindKtiv" reply="13" id="2165959"] /.../ But this is done all the time in other industries. They might not release a broken product, but they will rush a movie out, or rush a CD out that makes you pissed off that the director just ruined your favorite series or your most anticipated product or whatnot. A great example: paying over 100 smackers to get the Windows 7 Beta a.k.a. Windows Vista. [/quote] While I see what you mean and you do h

I just thought of another pretty hilarious example. In Europa Universalis 2, you -could not save the game- in single player mode (this is a civ-esque strategy game) from the initial release. You had to patch it to get the save function to work.

[quote who="Rhah" reply="10" id="2165881"]Actually companies releasing beta in a pretty little ribbon called a release has been going on since before eq1. There has also been a good amount of these that actually are never fixed. The company just states that due to other efforts and the lack of popularity/sales of this game we can no longer support it. This all started alittle after the stores quit refunding opened game software, which later expanded to all open media shortly after.

Impulse password stored in plaintext in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hey, just wanted to give people a little headsup about something I found while mucking about in the games config files. In the game.prefs file (Typically found in /My Documents/My Games/Gas Powered Games/Demigod/game.prefs) your impulse password is stored in plaintext if you've ticked the remember me box while logging in. This means its easily accessible to trojans and viruses and what have you. Perhaps the game devs should ask themselves that question that all computer network guys a

I'm having the exact same issues. Running Vista 64, Intel dual core e8400, GForce 9800 GTX, 4 gigs of ram. The network code needs a big hug, the game is basically unplayable for me. I also get spontaneous freezes lasting for 5-20 secodns in the custom game browser. It can take as long as 30 minutes to find a game that you can actually play, sometimes longer. This is because you have to start up the browser, wait for it to painfully slow update and then proceed to try to enter somewhere around
