With the kind of customer service you get, I am not surprised why software piracy is up.

I agree with Kris on the issue of the WC license. The guys at EA aren't *that* stupid as to sell the WC name.

After the WC Movie, would you really WANT Roberts to have the WC name?

Um...what does this mean?? Lack of customer support causes people to pirate games, and therefor have *no* customer service? I've found customer service to be very helpful in the past. Not that I normally have problems with games... Usually I'm the one providing support

After all the Wing Commander games up to WCIV, would you want him to have the licence?

Yes, but not after the Movie. To me that seamed to be an intentional attempt to kill WC. As a space/sci-fi movie it was okay, but as a Wing Commander movie it stunk.
 
Is it paranoia? Is it really?

Maybe, to increase the success of the 'Lancer series he wanted to destroy the series he had woked incredibly hard on for much of his carreer.

To answer my first question, yes.

Well, this is woth what you paid for it, but....

Why not just get a collection up and see if the fans, under some dummy corporation buy the rights etc off of EA. It is a company and only listens to one thing, money. Jusy my spin on things

No, it most definitely couldn't work.

Also, I'm not altogether sure what you mean by "lend your novels to extend WC".
 
Yeah, me neither.

Hey, Joey, you following up on the adventures of Justin and the crew of the Antietam? Cool, thanks. I need to start working on that again.

Oops, looks like Privateer Deluxe isn't on the online catalog of Chips and Bits anymore.

Well I know how a bummer it is not to find games.I am a late gamer and just loved Wing Commander Prophesy when I bought it as a gamble for $19.99.I then found out almost every Wing Commander game was discontinued.
Well after going to almost every computer store in Pennsylvania.
I found one other game Privateer 2 deluxe edition.
Then someone on a message board sold me Wing Commander IV.
I place a order with Chips & Bits for Wing Commander Prophesy Gold Edition.But it was still on back order.I hope they don't tell me at the last minute that they are no longer available.I WILL FREAK OUT!!!!
The one I wanted the most was Wing Commander Kilrathi Sega.
I myself was so fed up of searching I just said hell with it and Snipered at the last 17 seconds on Ebay. $305.00 was the winning bid for Kilrathi Sega and Price for freedom in mint condition.
I will not be buying games for another month.I hope my girl friend does not find out because she just would not understand.
I could hear her screaming now.

Heya Eddie! Welcome to our humble abode and all.. Saw your bid at $305 for KS on eBay. I'm glad that went to a real WC fan and not some collector.

I was in the same position as you a year ago, when I first started play Wing Commander. As soon as I heard Prophecy Gold was discontinuing production, I bought a copy for $40 from gamedealer.com. You might try there, they could still have some copies. WC3 and WC4 came from eBay, and I was lucky enough to get the original, non-EA Classic WC3. I picked up a copy of Armada and two copies of Priv Gold in the 'used' section at my local game store. Academy came on a Soundblaster CD I picked up for free at school.

Lately I've been collecting a few more WC games, you might have seen me on eBay, I've picked up 3 copies of WC2, another of Academy, and a WC1 Floppy. My parents have said "no more" but I've got other plans..

Prophecy Gold - try www.gamedealer.com, they might still have copies left.. Darn, they don't..
 
I'm gonna have to agree with Kris here. If your girlfriend yells at you for spending your own money it's probably because she's worried you won't spend it on her as much. So if she does yell, just tell her to get a job and worry about her own finances or you'll stick your boot in her little mouth.
