    Those copyrighters from arcanumclub.ru who accused Drog of stealing their fixes decided to right all wrongs by... stealing from Drog!
    The 1.0.7.5 patch is out and it consists of the issues Drog already fixed except for the hard stuff.
    Now that's irony.

    Why would I care? They should give me a reason to care, in all honesty.

    I blame bad parenting.
    And the fact that they all hit themselves in the head with their shovel while attempting to grave dig.

    Did Drog translate it to Russian? I thought his patch wasn't even supporting other people than those who play English game.

    Downloading from Russians is Communism.

    Communism is bad.

    Don't do it, kids.

    Alright?

    Bad.

    Thats pathetic, drog made arcanum playable again (and others that i don't know i assume).

    I'm a new member (although I've been visiting since 2003,) and I like drog? His patch made me play arcanum again, which I've had since 2001 but haven't play for about 4 years.

    and I'm not a digger. although people spazzed out because I commented on a front page thread heh. I didn't notice it was made in 2003 to be fair hah. oh well what ya gonna do.

    They made the patch for the english version copying his work. That's the point.

    Does Drog have copyright to bugs? They made it in the beginning of 2007, and according to change log UAP has been out since 2008 :roll:

    Yeah, the first post has been edited. That is surely proof for your conspiracy theory. There is no way that any of those bugs would have been fixed without Drog.

    They must have created a meaningless topic and talked in it for years, just that they could edit it and claim they have released a patch. How evil they are, they even started listing bugs in 2002 to have excuse to steal bugs would have been patented by Drog several years later! You should sue them, because Drog is the only person who has rights to find or fix bugs of Arcanum.

    I am so sorry I badmouthed those workaholics while playing arcanum with their patch since 2002... Oh wait, it was released two weeks ago! I changed my mind, I'm not sorry.

    The only one who has ever owned any bugs is Sierra who happens to be sitting on the rights for the intellectual property otherwise known as Arcanum. Third party content is a global free-for-all. I don't care who stole what from who and it strikes me that it's a fucking bugfix we're talking about. You can usually only solve bugs in one way lest you create another bug out of it. Had it been a module it would have been a different thing altogether, but Jesus Childhumping Christ, I don't see what all the hyperbole is for.

    Thank you, DE. I was thinking the same thing.
    The whole thing seems a bit over done now.

    All this somewhat civilized conversation isn't the delicious drama I was expecting. Boo.

    On the other hand, who gives a shit about what the russians are doing? Drog's work is original, quality, got there first, and is in English.

    The problem is that the Russian patch controls your mind.
