In the case of this game, I'll stick with the 1.2 version. That said, before buying the expansion pack, does anyone know whether it does an automatic/forced update when installing it? Won't be buying it if I can't use EAW1.2. Well, at least until there's a new crack that allows use with the later patches.
Really, I didn't pay good money for this game just to not even play it because of these stupid hassles. I own a legit copy, that should be enough, guess it's not. Man, the consumer is really taking it up the butt these days in regards to everything...
The companies need to make their minds up, either let us use NOCD patches or make backups. Most I know if not given one of the two options just won't be buying their crap anymore if it gets that bad. Would suit them right if we did however, the game companies have taken us for granted one too many times.
Sheesh, I am already only buying games once they are less than $30, would hate to stop buying them all together, but will if pushed much longer! Their loss since I have way too many games to begin with...
