funny now they think one trial will yield typical results. I do SEO and you have to try multiple options before determining success or failure of a test.
I don't buy their games anymore for this reason, I have a number of them, but due to the fact I cant play them with another person without spending a year building a set to play and then maybe find someone who is willing to try it, forget it. on the other hand they said if you wanted to build your own you could, seems to me then you would have to share it with someone to play it vs. an opponent.

I had the same problems several months ago when a friend and I thought about getting an Avalanche Press game going. I wrote to the people at AP and this is what they said (the reference to Radiohead was in response to a comment I made in my email to them): Thank you for your response. We do not currently allow distribution of electronic versions of our games, though we certainly have no objection to individuals making their own sets. Radiohead's experiment certainly drew attention, but the results are difficult to call a success or a failure. The CD in question sold 122,000 copies in its first week, compared to over 300,000 for their previous release, according to Neilsen SoundScan. A drop of nearly 2/3 in sales would be devastating to us; as company president I have to chart a careful course to protect our livelihoods. We did experiment ourselves in 2007, allowing distribution of an electronic set for Panzer Grenadier: Airborne, but we did not see any measurable increase in sales. Thank you again for your support, and I hope you continue to enjoy our games. Mike Bennighof President, Avalanche Press So, making a gamebox is ok as long as it's for 'individual use'. Hope this helps. By the way, what AP game(s) were you looking at playing? --- In [email protected], "ross_menzies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi again, > > I know that Avalanche don't support electronic copies of their games > but what if a gamebox contains no copied materials, can they prevent > open distribution? > > Ross > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
