Having made a bloody first contact with a strange form of life from another planet, the player is thrust into the tough position of leading the defense of this isolated planet against the never-ending assault of these hostile invaders

Terminus - go away. No offense, but wherever you post, the thread degrades into a shambles [;)]

I have only used them one time.
  • You have to use their download system which require .Net 2.0.
  • Slow Downloads, the problem might have been at my end.
  • Slow support when I had problem with billing.
  • Judging from posts on the Sword of the Stars main forum they have to prepare patches on their end. Apparently even Direct2Drive was quicker then them when it came to patching SotS. <<< Dealbreaker for me.

Eric or David,

What time zone is the 12:01 AM release going to be?

Do you know if the Tri Synergy release is on CD or DVD and whether the disc will be needed in the drive to play the game?

Thanks!

How long is the restriction on Matrix selling game in europe going to last.e.g. 6 months? or forever?
&nbsp;
I'll prob but it from Gamers Gate now so I can play on relaese but would consider buying it again from Matrix if patches, support etc are quicker and better. Also I would like to own a CD copy of game which I am notsure if GG are doing.

Also, did your original distribution deal really not include Europe?&nbsp;Seeing as you have a UK site I would have thought you would have&nbsp;ensured&nbsp;the original deal included UK as well?

Hi Guys

NONE of the North American releases will use StarForce of any type.

Our deal came through a 3rd party and I guess there was some mis-communication on the details.

Will Matrix games eventually sell UFO:ET worldwide? Or is it a permanent restriction?&nbsp;

David,

Thanks to you and all the great people at Matrix Games. Our brothers who are overseas (Europe) are bummed out about not being able to buy the DD & Physical Copy of ET tonight from Matrix and we realize this is just one of those sucky things that happens sometimes. We don't hold your company responsible and appreciate all the information and great customer support you have given us concerning UFO ET. Those of us in NA are of course pleased that we can buy from Matrix, but for the sake of European Brothers who can't, we are muted about. But a huge thank you from all of us in the UFO ET community to you and Matrix is well deserved.

[&o][&o][&o]

@faenaris

Its unfortunately permanent according to David and I think he posted above in this thread he doesn't see that changing, just in case you missed it, bro. Very sorry about that.
