GRETGOR'S PROFILE

This is lovely. I like the graphical style, and how every dialog box is full of personality and comedy. Craig sounds like one of those nice and intelligent, yet extremely insecure and anxious people.

The graphic adventure gameplay contained in the game is also pretty nice, not too complicated, but at the same time, it does make us think a lot. When I approached the last two things I had to do before the end, everything ended up narrowing down to trying everything everywhere, but other than these very last things, the rest was solved by logic and problem solving, which is nice :D

Oh, if only he had that MANLY PHYSIQUE xD

Does the original RM2K3 count as abandonware? If that's so, then I believe it's not exactly illegal to use it, right?

I mean, how long must a product be "abandoned" before it counts as "abandonware"? Everything is so complex :(

While I do understand where you come from (and respect your opinion), buying the engine still felt like the right thing to do (and I just did, like, a few hours ago).

It was, to me, more or less a way to thank the developers for pretty much saving my teenage years from being a complete waste, incentivating me to learn programming and all that. And when it came down to it, having the official version made me feel more "empowered" right from the get go.

I thank you for standing up in my favor, but now I already bought the official version, and I don't regret it. Still, I think you do have some valid points there that I failed to consider! Sorry if I made things confusing, and thanks anyway.

I'm happy with my decision to buy (for the above mentioned reasons), but I can appreciate that the subject is way more nuanced than I anticipated.

I was trying to write a really ellaborate answer where I try to be defensive about what I said, but it turns out I couldn't bring myself to do it. As it turns out, it's pretty obvious that I'm wrong, and trying to deny that would only make me look like even more of an ass.

As things stand, I'm just feeling kinda hurt that something that was okay for me to do a few years ago is no longer okay nowadays, and that led me to try to justify what I used to do with all kinds of immature shenanigans I could think of.

There's no denying it: if I want to be a truly honest person, I'll have to buy the official release. I don't even have to stand up from my seat to do so, I can just Paypal it from Steam, and it's not like I don't have the money to do it.

I get away with acting immature 90% of the time because I usually don't get called out on it. Getting called on my immaturity is something I'm not accustomed to, and it probably should happen more often for me to become a tolerable person. I'm uncomfortable writing this apology, because I hate admitting I'm wrong, but believe me when I say every word in here is truthful.

Sorry for acting like an immature nitwit.

So I'm no longer allowed to use the unofficial version because some rich folks decided to sell it? Wow.

If they truly want me to pay for something I used for free for the longest time, they really should have put more effort into it.

And that price, in the current economy? I'm not ready to dish out 80 units of my local currency on something I was using for free until now.

So, I read the full changelog, and I can't say I'm ecstatic. Sure, the fullscreen fix is nice, and having more picture IDs to work with is a blessing, but I'm not sold on the official English version for those features alone.

If only it included local variables/switches for events, and said variables/switches could actually be used to change in-event pages, I think I'd be completely sold on it though.
