Not sure what the graphics are like on this version but CorsixTH is nice for getting a more modern experience:

Completely forgot all about that version. Just checked my TH folder and I have a copy of Corsix TH when they released it as beta 8 and now they have improved it a little...! I knew that I kept the original disc and files for a reason, just couldn't remember the modified version that required them during installation.

How do pirates make DRM worse? They, surely, make it better because they remove it. You can't blame pirates because Ubisoft or some other wretched company puts in archaic DRM. If there was 0 piracy they'd still do it.

...

I'd happily buy from GOG because I don't have to worry that if I upgrade my PC the stupid DRM is going to cause games to stop working.

Not interested in getting involved in a piracy discussion, because as you said it's been done to death. But as a side note, didn't Ubi scrap most of their restrictive DRM schemes?

+1 to this. Mod makes it so much more playable with modern resolutions, I highly recommend it. :)

I was surprised at how good the original looked to be honest. I thought it would be a horrible, horrible mass of pixels, but it was much better than I thought it would be. It gave it a sort of retro/classic feel which seemed to enhance the charm somehow.

I've used CorsixTH in the past, but the last time I used it there was a horrible game-stopping bug when you got onto the higher levels (I think it was something to do with room demolishing, but I can't remember exactly).

Not if the person downloading had no intention to buy in the first place ;)

Gave up piracy long ago when prices started crashing mere weeks after release...

But the above is the biggest logical fallacy in the argument; lost revenue from piracy stats are generated on the basis that every pirate copy is a lost sale. This is absolute garbage and it's an assertion that has always made steam come out of my ears when I heard it in the media.
 
Copyright infringement is not theft.

That's the way I always look at it.
If I break into your house and take a photograph of your favourite chair, I leave your favourite chair physically in place but I then go home and make a replica, I haven't stolen your chair.

Or I'm not going to sue my local newspaper because they printed a photograph of me last month, they didn't steal me, did they ?
DID THEY ? OH CRUMBS MAYBE I'M DEAD!!!
 
This is not the place for a debate about Piracy, take that to another thread and let those of us who use this one for the purpose intended do just that.

:(

Yeah but you're basing a theory on something that's digital with something that's physical.

You might build a chair that's similar, but that chair is made by YOU if you've had to buy the parts/mould the plastic into the right shape, etc.

It's different in the digital world, you're copying over data that WASN'T made by you.

If you want a fair comparison with the "taking picture of someones chair and building it yourself" theory, then compare it with someone giving you coding/modelling lessons and having to "build/code" the game yourself.

Digital is entirely different.
 
Can we just "these are not the droids we are looking for" and get back to the subject of the thread or it will never end.

Thanks
 
Oh but everyone has such an important perspective to give that will actually induce an epiphany... exactly, so please stop.

I'd be interested in a cheap copy of Dying Light too but I'm not sure if it will bring more to the table than Dead Island.

tl;dr

Ubisoft has revoked most copies of FC4 bought from Kinguin and G2A, Ubi claims they were obtained fraudulently. Kinguin claims otherwise.

In other words, don't buy FC4 from a reseller.

I bought a copy of FC4 off a well known auction website about 3 weeks ago and that got banned by uplay a few days ago. I was lucky and the seller gave me a refund when I told them what happened.
