Downloaded and installed. Still didn't test anything.
Happy to see that Epic is still trying to support such a (sadly) unpopular game. That means they have not given up on UT quite yet.
I'm not so happy about the fact that people still cry about it though. They don't have to do these patches, or do UT you know that. But they do, and we should thank them for their time. I agree that some crucial features that were in the other games are missing, but in all seriousness, do you think this game would be better if it was in the same state as Crysis, with no new patches coming? No. So grow up and stop crying, take all the patches you can and say thanks. Because as I said they most certainly are not obliged to make these patches, they could just concentrate on Gears of War 2 and nothing we say about that would change it.
How romantic.. dev's dont make patches out of the goddness of their hearts, this is a buisness, and patches are good buisness, keeping your customers happy means repeat customers, it's no different than any other service companies and retailers offer you, even on products that don't do well, keep customers happy (even if its at a loss in some instances) and they remain customers (thus making sure it turns back into a gain).
Its not the only buisness model out there, you could choose to forgo it, and some do, but it has proven a good one, and Epic has certainly benifited from their patch history in the past, in form of goodwill and purchases from their customers, woulden't you agree?
But as customers, we also have every right to object if the service provided is not what we want, ofcourse the buisness does not have to listen to us, or do what we say, but it might very well be in their intrest to keep us happy, to ensure we remain customers, thats just how things work in this so called "free market".
It's pretty hard to do buisness if people wont buy your products, because you have a bad track record of making broken ones you wont fix, hence the need to distance yourself from such a reputation, simple enough yes?
Epic is not a mod team, they don't make games or patches in their own free time, they do it in exchange of our monies, and to ensure they can continue to make monies in the future aswell.
If you want gratitude, it comes from true alltruistic actions (or as true as they can be, anyway), and you need to pursue thouse, but it stops beeing alltruism the moment you charge a premium for thouse actions, or have other ulterior motives, then it's a service for sale, so could we please dispense with this hopelessly romantic fantasy of what the gaming biz is, and just accept that Dev's are people who work for their money like the rest of us, games are products for sale, and patches are a PR tool?
