My complaint against PTW... NO JEWEL CASE
I open up PTW and instead of a jewel case I find a cheap paper envelope? This throws off my whole system! Now I'll have to buy more jewel cases!

Obviously a pretty minor complaint, but kind of cheap not to give us a jewel case. I could see if this was some huge 8 cd key like Wizardry 8, but 1 jewel case? Come on now!

Sorry, but some cuts had to be made to fund the massive staff of highly proffesional coders.

What's that smell?

Could it be a whiff of DL?

The Civ3 LE didn't have a jewel case either, but at least the cheap, flimsy envelope had pics of the leaders and whatnot. This plain white one just doesn't cut it.

Also, I dont know who this guy is either. Even if so, would it make my opinions any less valid? You are reading them, right?

No, the fact that you are Canadian makes your opinions less valid.



your opinions are valid, for the most part, its your delivery that needs work.

Yes FX, I've read them. They strike a similar chord to those of some of the more infamous flamers.

Personal digs at the developers when you have very little clue what goes on behind the scenes are cheap. You may enjoy them, but they are cheap.

I was sort of disapointed with this too...

I don't think it was the programmers that put them over budget, I think it was the lamenent cover on the manual

Funny I had the same thought, what no jewel case? Oh, well I have box full of them for cd's that I burn. I just had to have to get a label for the spine.
