CaSCa Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 If they only made one copy of CM:BB, and they offered it on ebay, what would you bid? note: All current laws vis a vis copyrights apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Yeah, great, playing the AI the rest of your life. Pass. Really, the attraction of this game is the COMMUNITY surrounding it, so the game is pretty much worthless if you are the only one to have it.

CaSCa Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 You would be able to play TCP/IP without a second disk, face to face, but I see your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patgod Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 i would go to where the disk is being kept, break in, steal it. then burn thousands of copys selling each at cost + a little something for myself considering my overhead would be disks, and new cd burners, and not years of dev time, i would make a killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaSCa Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 I could become that desperate. Imagine the power the the holder of the one true disk would wield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These could run into the millions. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
