Hello fellow forum members.
Aurora has been a terribly fun game for me, providing many long hours of entertainment, at least 500mb of word and Excel files to organise and sort my Aurora games, countless tweaks and optimizations, a massive learning curve and just so much joy.
It is sad then that Aurora is going to disappear.
It will be greatly missed.
But wait, this thread is presumptions you say?
Wrong, it is clear now that people are unable to respect Steve's wishes. Steve Walmsley the single developer, and owner of the IP will eventually withdraw his game from th public.
Steve will still get to enjoy the game, perhaps with those whom he personally trusts, perhaps not.
It is inevitable.
The masses simply are too stupid to realize that, with some basic programming knowledge they will override the protection put into place.
Look at every single game ever produced ever.
There are cheats, protection overwrite patches, registry edits, many ways to play or modify the game in a way the developers never intended. These however are a mitigated risk of commercial sales.
Aurora is not a commercial game.
Only one person has the rights to own and operate this game, and that person is also capable of simply removing it from public distribution without punishment.
It is my belief that this sad course of events will happen. The game will be withdrawn. Some people simply cannot respect the wishes of an internet person.
The community, those playing the game should have some respect for the designers wishes.
This is not the case.
Thank you very much Steve.
It's been a fun ride.
