Dark, Agreed. I wouldn't send the guy hate mail either, and when I did send him an e-mail about Q9 I did my best to be polite and courteous. However, I can completely understand the motivations behind some others sending him hate mail or wanting to kick his door down and just take the game by force if they could. The way he is behaving engenders bad feelings on both sides,and ultimately I think it will come back to bite him on the backside one way or another.
For one thing there are plenty of people who have valid licenses of Q9 anyway so they won't be buying Leasey unless they genuinely want that product. Those who don't have Q9 licenses either do not want the game or like me won't pay for Leasey just to own that particular game. There is the issue that Leasey is a Jaws specific product, is written as a Jaws add-on, so wouldn't be available to non-Jaws users anyway. So whatever he thinks owning Q9 will gain him isn't much. I don't really see it boosting sales of Leasey, and ultimately this acquisition is doomed to failure as a marketing ploy.
