Eidos' 'Thief Deadly
Shadows' Steals May 25 Ship Date in North America (thanks Frans) is the
announcement that ION Storm's third installment in the Thief series begun by
Looking Glass Games is complete for both PC and Xbox, and expected to meet its
planned May 26 in-store date. Here's a bit:
Thief: Deadly Shadows places you in the role of Master Thief Garrett, the quintessential anti-hero that steals from the rich and keeps for himself. In Thief: Deadly Shadows, Garrett finds himself assisting the Keepers, the secret society that trained Garrett in his youth. He is tasked with preventing a prophesised Dark Age from coming into fruition. Thief: Deadly Shadows was developed by Ion Storm, creators of the critically-acclaimed Deus Ex series.
Thief: Deadly Shadows will continue the Ion Storm tradition of open-ended emergent gameplay the studio is famous for. The freedom to choose a unique play style is what sets Thief: Deadly Shadows apart from any other game further immersing the player into the adventure. Thief: Deadly Shadows features a powerful physics system, startlingly smart AI, enhanced character modelling and animation, a groundbreaking sound propagation system and state- of-the art lighting and graphics for which Ion Storm is famous for.
Why should we not protect ourselves from losing $50 when we're not given a demo to try it out, nor allowed to return the merchandise if it's purchased in the first place?Very simple answer: don't buy it. If you don't like the terms of your transaction--i.e., no demo, no return policy--you simply don't buy the product. If you couldn't take a car for a test drive nor return it for a refund if you decided you didn't like it, that would not give you the "right" to steal it or sneak it out of the lot in the middle of the night, take it for a joyride, and return in the morning before anybody noticed.
Not that I'm defending Ion, not on your life, but maybe the reason publisher-owned companies like Ion "shaft" their PC customers by favoring consoles is exactly because of piracy.
