People need to remove that dam halo around Westwoods head, they where not this uber company everyone thinks they are, they where as bad as EA, and both of them are as bad as all the others out there, its all about the MONEY.

Yeah, however, some companies support their fans and communities more than others. And Westwood was one that (or at least it seems so to me) supported it's fans, unlike EA (I remember checking some petition threads for a 1.03 patch for The First Decade on the EA forums - hundreds of forum members signed it and our "friends" at EA didn't even look at the thread).

For example, I have to buy multiple copies of some games if I want to play them in LAN between the two computers I have in my house. However, some games' developers/publishers decide to make it possible to install and play the game on multiple PCs. A quote from the C&C95 readme:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.6 Do I need to buy two copies of the game to play on two computers?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have designed the game so that you won't need to buy two separate
copies of the game in order to play with a friend. You can give away
one of your CDs so that you can both play over the modem. In order to
play the normal game, you'll need both CDs.

The reason we're doing it this way is so that you can enjoy the
multiplayer aspect of C&C more easily. Although we could have
designed it so that two copies of the game must be purchased in
order to use multiplayer, we are hoping that if we treat our fans
right, then they will in turn treat us right.

I think Deathrider could have put his new poll to this thread instead of making multiple new topics..
