Ooops...
Those brain cells must have gotten in front of the sangria last night.

RTW2 release date post

"The price for the game will be $34.99 (US), which was the same price for the original RTW upon its release in 2015. Everyone who has purchased, or purchases, the original RTW game before April 25 will be offered a special price of $29.99 for RTW2."

I am on the fence with this one. I was really hoping for a "Steam and Iron II" as well. RTW is just not in my wheelhouse in regards to scope. I just don't enjoy RTW 1 as much as I do "Steam and Iron".

I will wait and see. Never say never.... :)

Yeah, I was all enthused about a bigger, better RTW2, but I am not sure I like some of the proposed changes, particularly aircraft.

  I'm sure I'll get this eventually.

Maybe a different distribution process for this release?  Either way is fine with me, the small group out of there has always gotten me my stuff very quickly.

This looks terrific! Scratch ALL the BB's and BC's, and build only DD's, subs, and Carriers. Lot's of carriers. Pump all the money you have into torpedo development.

Saw this today at the official board....I hope this doesn't mean they are considering overly restrictive DRM like Battefront and other schemes......although my buying decision won't solely be based on the DRM, it certainly may be a factor depending on what it turns out to be.

"Security for RTW2 will be increased over RTW1 (unfortunately due to significant pirating of RTW1) so you will only be able to play the game on a single PC at a time as the situation stands right now..."

DoctorQuest

It would be interesting to know how they tracked the RTW1 pirating.

I'm not saying they don't have justification. I'm curious to see what direction they go with DRM.

I'm waiting for Steam and Iron 2. (I may be waiting a long time)

Very surprised by the pirating of RTW1.  This game doesn't have a very wide appeal (just groggy naval freaks).  I've always felt we're not likely to pirate games unlike the twitch crowd. In any case, I doubt the pirates would have purchased the game if they hadn't been able to steal it.  Don't recall my firewall ever complaining about RTW1 trying to access internet.

Grim.Reaper

Yep, hard to believe it was a game in high demand for piracy....I respect the right to protect rights of the company, but in such a small market hope they don't go extreme here....if they are restricting to a PC, at the very minimum its a case where you have to give them some info on your PC where they activate it and at worst something like Battelfront.  Either way, has to be something based on your PC.
