As far as EA Sports, have you ever heard of Nascar Revolution?
I bought NR, and kept it on EA Sport's -personal-, firm promise
to -me- that it would be fixed. I even became a defender and
supporter of NR for months on the EA/NR BBS. They lied, then
abruptly shut down the very active BBS, and I am stuck with
a game I can't stand and cannot return. But most importantly,
I felt duped and used by them. I didn't like that very much.
So to sum up, I won't get burned by EA Sports ever again,
and had -no- qualms about checking out their latest game.
They owe me.
If you don't want to try out F1-2000, then don't download it.

I can pretty much Gaurantee that 95% of these people that say they like
F12000, and then say they were only testing it, will never buy it because
after all, why should they. They already got it for free.
If they honestly wanted to just "test" it, they would wait for the Demo to
come out. That is the reason the companies put out demos, to allow you to
test.

In the last few weeks, most people on this NG have been saying how F1 2000
looks terrible, looks like an acrade game etc. and there was no way they
were going to buy it.
Now after people like me have reviewed it and said that it was a great game
I GUARANTEE you many more people will now buy it the day it comes out.
Now you tell me who's losing out in this scenario...

Good point, Dave, but unfortunately they are hooked up
with one of the most consumer-non-friendly, lying game
producers that ever existed.
Nah, when it comes to EA Sports, I have to say that I haven't
a lot of respect for them. They PO'd a LOT of people with their
shenanigans on the EA/NR forum. Did you ever go there when
the NR fiasco was in full swing?
I say feed 'em fishheads... ;)
Just a point here. For me, I have removed it from my drive
at this point and have no intention of reinstalling it until some
REAL patches are -available-, from either EA Sports or the
3rd parties, such as those at GTInsider. At that time I will
check it out with my warez copy and if it is good, I will
buy it, delete the warez copy and add it to my collection
of 200-300 purchased games. I will not copy it for anyone.
Other than that, I guess I don't know what to say.. ;)

Kind of like the suburban husband who occasionally does a line of coke but
doesn't consider himself part of the drug problem.

I've been reading your posts here for a few years so any arguments I put
forth in opposition to warez are really directed towards others. I just
happened to have responded to your post in this thread. :-)
