The Last Fucking Straw
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2002 4:29 am
From the shadowbane.ubisoft.com news update of July 29th comes this exciting revelation:
YES, for a mere 10 American dollars (refunded when you claim the actual title, of course), you too can be a minotaur the instant Shadowbane goes live. This is an outright betrayl of anyone who ever wasted time anticipating Shadowbane. What was supposed to take months of effort now costs literally nothing. I distinctly recall devs saying that it would be along time before anyone say minotaurs and birdmen running about. Now the "secret" races are a marketing ploy.
The pre-order CD contains:
Shadowbane Desktop Wallpaper
A Shadowbane Screensaver
A Shadowbane Video “Trailer”
A one-time-use promotional code to unlock three Shadowbane Restricted Races: Minotaur, Aracoix, and Centaur.

SB has alot of new concepts. Some that I wouldn't ever expect to see in a game.... It's going to take along time to perfect it. But when it is... It's going to provide a great gaming exp... I hope....
