Some of the MS games I have liked. It is also true that they give the developers freedom to do what they'd like.

Mechwarrior 3 I liked, MW4 I disliked. (though neither capture the awe feel that playing MW2 Ghost Bear's Legacy did for the first time) Starlancer I disliked because it was rather limited, but each developer did what they did out of their own heh volition.

I bid... $53.50!

All I've got... and I think I need to buy dinner or somethin'... but it's worth it!

Even better- what if I managed to buy the rights... and make FS3 myself! You'd have no choice but to appreciate my mods! I'd be the Dictator of FreeSpace! Wuhahahahaaaaaaa!

43 cents....who milked it dry...?? :lol:

No offence to MS Lovers out there though to me even though I run MS software....Microsoft is a bug...bug...bug...bug...bug...bug and for people who don't get that; he will make even more money with this excellent game and how can you trust I guy like that just living off other peoples hard effort, work and coolness....:eek:

And its just the terrifying fact of seeing a Microsoft slogan, logo or whatever on a Freespace2 box :( :(  its not fair :(

How? coz i'm able to draw a line between MS produced software and MS edited software. And who knows, maybe, one day, in a galaxy far, far away, with the extra cash they earn from those games, they'll have good programmers... Mmh, maybe not :p

Indeed, there's an enormous distinction. Think of Halo, for example, which is cool. Then think of ... well, I'd better not name names here, I might irritate people. :D
