Ok, the zinger was a little much and I stand properly chastised.

Although I was using the 4 Double-Cheeseburger meals to make a point about exactly how much money he is complaining about.

I also do not buy every war game that comes down the pike. Who has the time to play them all? That just encourages them to churn out crap and we have enough of those.

I have only bought TOAW III, Crown of Glory, Uncommon Valor, & Battles in Normandy from Matrix (I ordered BOA directly from AGEOD.) Overall the quality of the games is excellent and their post release support is my motivating factor when I buy a game, from any company. Having the ability to re-download the installers after registering the game (if you carelessly delete them and uninstall the game [:@] ) is well worth the extra money. I cannot exchange CD's at Gamestop if I scratch them two years down the road or get the game replaced for free if I lost it in a move. Plus that extra $20 allows them to continue to develop/publish those "in development" games we are all salivating over, or bring to a bigger audience a gem like AGEOD's BOA, exposing them to a bigger potential buying pool and encouraging their future development.

ok, now tha twe are talking turkey, or burgers[:D], I bought it at a retailer, what a mistake, The microscopic 6 font on the key code was a BITCH, PLUS one letter looked like an inverted v with antlers, an w in script"lets screw with them" and the 37 letter and number code had an "l" or was it an "I" and in the type they wher identical.. so after typing and retyping it finally loaded.. VERY beatiful, AND a working tutorial. And if you really absolutely do not want to get it here, wish I had for several other reasoins as well, Aeogoeed or whatever is selling there DL version for 27.89US.. go figure! ok
Great product added to the library! my edited serial: MdwfZ-H8hNF-******-aGQdH-****** as an example.. so DOWNLOAD and cut and paste! or not if you are into that kind of self abuse [:-]

ORIGINAL: Executioner Five

BoA from Gamestop for the win--it's $29.99 in the store. Why pay $20 extra to subsidize Matrix?

Because Matrix is fantastic, my friend. I'm not the fanboy type but I'm able to recognize a great idea and hard work when I see it. I've bought a lot from Matrix (even too much perhaps: TOAW III, Harpoon III, WitP, BoA, CotA and Battlefront; well Matrix, if you one day will consider some kind of reward for your most faithful costumers... [;)]) and I've never been disapointed. All my downloads have been smooth as silk, the support is excellent and the forums are per se an incredible value. But the most important feature is simply that a lot of fantastic wargames are made available. Do I want to pay for that? You can bet I want!
