Yes, lets stop talking about the proposed release of Quake, of piracey
and hey lets not respond to butt holes that post pyramid schemes on
a.g.d.! If we all do that the theads would look like this.

Have to agree with that one, it is pointless discussing a pirated game in
any newsgroup.

Why tell people to stop expressing their options? Is'nt that what it is all
about? I don't mind a couple of threads going re this issue, but lets
hold it back to 10 or so posts per thead, or move it to the appropriate
news group.
Oh, just personal opinion, I have no intention in buying a glorified
upgrade from Doom (I don't have nor desire to obtain the pirate version) to
Doom II. With hack and the thousands of wads out there I don't think I need
to spend 40 more dollars just to get a few new graphics that I can get
for free from infant2. I will wait for Quake. Oppps slap on the wrist from
self-appointed moderators, I mentioned something other than Doom.
Just my $.02
