But EA took something from that experience and evolved. Ubisoft released Far Cry 2 with activation limitations, then went in the complete oposite direction and went DRM free with PoP and HAWX, only to now fly back around to activation limitations with DoD. It's seems like a 'activation limitations or nothing" approach is just switching back and forth between solutions that bring the greatest risks for lost sales.

I'll wait for a Gold Edition with Addon respectivly Multiplayer Mode included for like 40.
I'm not going to trust them again this time. I did with Anno 1503 and there never was a Multiplayer patch or addon
Shame. I guess the wait for SC2 continues.

Has anyone bought the game from Steam yet? I got an ad at startup telling me it's out, and it's on the new releases tab, but it still says it's a preorder. I'd rather not spend $50 only to have to wait a week to download it.

I think the missing Multiplayer Mode is doing the rest here. You can buy the game, give it to a friend and he can install it as well. Without downloading the ISO you can download a crack after this and then play the game without the DVD. This "market" is huge in schools and stuff. They had to do something to prevent the average joe from copying the game that easily.

They will remove Tages with one of the upcomming patches. I remember them saying something like this. Let the game be out half a year. I think the Gold Edition will be TAGES less

I still can't believe they are releasing another Anno without multiplayer again. In this day and age. Fair enough some games don't need multiplayer but this is a frigging RTS for god sake.

Any chance you remember where you heard this? Linkable source? If so, then that is wonderfull. Limiting the limits to only a handfull of months to cover the launch window and then removing them is fine with me.

I'll try to back this up tomorrow. I hope I can find that particular posting or whatever/whereever it was.
I'm on my DSi right now, so you have to wait ;-)

Played 1 hour (first two chapters of story mode) of Wii version:
Quick impressions:
+ Graphics and art style are great. Controls perfectly. Good voice-acting.
- Obviously less complex than PC offering.

Did you expect it to or?Zzoram said:
I'm sure it will sell 15 copies but who cares. If you have a Wii, BUY IT. It's a great fucking game and at 30$ a downright steal.

Wii version is that cheap because it's a niche game in NA, yeah
DS game is at least as big as the last one and compareable to the Wii version.

This game is phenomenal. The interface alone is both unique and effective. Even though the story mode is basically a long tutorial for the game, the game has enough atmosphere to make you care about what you are doing.
And - for those who are playing the game - I absolutely hate the Prince's brother (not even a spoiler). I love it when a game makes the characters feel real.

Will get the Wii version first. Will get the gold edition of the PC one when it's released.

Been playing the game for 11 hours now. It's a fun game.
The campaign is fairly easy though. A lot of hand holding and it feels like you can't really lose the game that easily. On the other hand it's more relaxing to play and you can play at your own pace and enjoy the jaw dropping graphics.
