Guys lets keep this to non tech support questions, I know it can be frustrating when you encounter a problem but we already have ways to contact us about tech issues, and of course you are encouraged to start a thread in the support forum for the specific game.

But...what if we wanted to know about the craziest tech support issue y'all have had?
 
Well that would be a request for a story, not a request for tech support. ;)

and I think Kallocain already shared some. :)
 
I've urged her repeatedly to post the best support case every week. She's has a lot of integrity and has therefor refrained from doing so.


My all time favorite is still the email that read.

Subject: Help!

"I'm Japanese!"

Great stuff.

Trivia: I also think Paradox/GamersGate staff like Theodore and Mattias Lilja are still involved in publishing new versions of Target Games' old RPGs. These ventures are called "Järnringen" and "Riotminds".

@Pandemonium: the trivia part at least is very true, both me and Theo (that's Gamersgate CEO Theodore Bergqvist) have various pet projects like old school rpgs (the pen & paper kind).

Why are you frequently displaying steampowered links to buy your newly released games?Would it not be normal for you to encourage people to go to Gamersgate, which is as good as Steam is?

Better.

Actually, that reminds me:

Is there a reason that the boxed copy of Mount&Blade Warband uses Steam?

Actually, we try to display purchase links to all places that carry every game to make it as easy as possible for everyone. Some people buy all their games on Steam, some people all their games on GamersGate, this way we get a much bigger part of the market share than just using one outlet. Our titles do better = we do better = we can continue developing more internal games and produce external games etc :cool:

The Steam retail version opens quite a few possibilities for the developer, auto-updates, reduces print lead times (currently as long as 6 weeks) and more. The reason the boxed copy of Mount & Blade: Warband uses Steam is because the developer wanted to use it.

This is prob for Kallocain, who is the oldest forum member?
 
Dear paradox,

I am saving money for a holiday in late September, and therefore can't spend it on a game I am eagerly awaiting, Victoria 2.

Instead, I present you with this spider, in exchange for a copy of vicky 2:

I hope this settles this matter.

It's been answered already, it's the guy who made the forum. Johan is #2.

I understood... but if i'm wrong then i'm asking : who is the oldest forumite... as in the highest number of years since his birth... ? and his age ?
