Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hello you all, Does the company Wild Tangent have permission to be selling copies of Geneforge 1, 2, and 3? It was through a program similar to Steam, named something redundant like Gamemachine Games and made by Wild Tangent. There was no mention of Spiderweb Software as the maker of the game, and the whole thing looked really shady. (Not to mention that according to Task Manager, the computer that had this program was using 80% of its CPU on 70 tasks even when nothing other than Task Manager was running--malware, anyone?.) P.S. According to my web search for ["Diner Dash" Geneforge] (Diner Dash being another game they sold despite apparently not making), Wild Tangent is in fact behind this thing. I know they're a real company because I own a collection of arcade games they made, but I'm still a little suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It easiest to ask Jeff Vogel at jvogel@spiderwebsoftware.com since only he and the others at the company keep track of places that are allowed to resell his games.

Garrulous Glaahk Matanbuchus Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The Spiderweb games seem to have been taken off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk John S Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 WildTangent is probably allowed to sell Spiderweb Software games, but as you said, they aren't a trustworthy company anyway. Better to go straight to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 They're allowed. False alarm, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
