Same here. 570+ pages of old-fashioned manual goodness. Can't wait...

Ordered regular. eheheh> Girlfriend prints and binds the PDF. Thats one good reason to keep her.

Sad thing is its already out on Bit Torrent sites. This keeps up and its going to kill this type of sims.

IMHO the true target market will pay for this sim rather than pirate it. Sure, some kiddie might download it, fire it up, realize it's too complex for their pea brain and simply delete it. That's my opinion of course.

I hope that you are right

LOL, how big is that PDF manual, 50MB?
What I want to know is, how did it get out there? A niche sim like this must have a very limited list of people who had the game pre-release.
The only possiblities are:
internal leak
disk dup facility
external beta testers
press copies

I can't imagine it being the first one, the external testers wouldn't have a release version, so that leaves press or the dup place. Since it seems to have come out since going gold, I'm thinking these disk dup places can't be trusted.


The Jedi Master

My guess would be that there is an insider at where ever the disks are made. It’s a big contest theses days between the different warez groups to see who can be the first out the door with a new game. I don’t think they really care about what kind of game it is only that they cracked it, and released it first.

Of course, it would help if we were given a demo of the product. I don't condone piracy, and I will make an informed decision solely basing on reviews and people's opinions, but I understand those that want to see the product before buying it.

i don't know why these kids would release such a complex game as this to the general public, whom have no desire to spend time with it. anyway i search and to my surprise most if not all links have
died down. anyway my order is on the way when the wife not looking

There will be a demo of DW soon.
