I know this is probably a stupid question, or maybe not.... But anyway, is there any chance either of those two games will become freeware or no? Maybe not old enough yet? I only ask because I have not lots of cash on hand at the moment... Posts: 29 | Registered: Sunday, February 4 2007 08:00 |

Counting on Spiderweb games becoming freeware is a losing proposition. Even Exile 1 still isn't freeware and it was released in 1994. You can't even buy it individually now (Exile Trilogy CD only), but it's not free. —Alorael, who can't really object. If you want to play them, you probably want to play enough to buy them. Jeff has to put food on his family somehow. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I e-mailed Jeff Vogel, asking if BoE would become free- or abandonware with the release of its source. He said he was far too busy with other projects to consider this right now. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |
