Matrix Games Forums

Hi! New to the forum, but a long-time WiF player. I recently purchased the computer version of WiF, and was wondering if I can install it on more than one machine. I ask because a friend of mine, who has been my WiF opponent for a while, has muscular distrophy and is on a very fixed income. Can I install a copy of my version on his machine, or will he need to buy his own copy? At $100 it's a bit of a burden (if not downright impossible) for him to purchase. We definitely don't want to pirate anything, since this genre of gaming has a very niche audience and we want to help it continue. Any advice?

Thanks,

People have been experimenting with a hot seat set-up with one them you taking over the other's PC over the internet, as Netplay is still buggy. As soon as Netplay works I think it might be contibuting to the community to buy that second copy. Somebody else on the forum has a 'gaming tin' for that purpose.

You would need to get confirmation from somebody at Matrix, but I think you could setup one computer with the game and use remote assistance and or go-to-meeting or webex or similar to share the screens and play that way!

By ask someone at Matrix by that I mean ask if such a thing violates the licensing terms. I would look myself but such things make my head explode when I read them and today is Valentines day so my wife would appreciate no head exploded Mikey!
