this is an offense question, but seems worth the try:

are you sure you know what the terms rational, logic and calculus mean?
jmich we had this or a similar discussion already at the ss1 release, i'm not interested in repeating it again.

Then don't post the same things unless you can show the fault in the logic.
SSP was a distribution of a full game that was available for purchase. The rights holder asked the people to take down the full version of the game, not the mod for it. If the modders haven't replaced the installer, it's the modders who are at fault, not the rights holder.

nah, never mind, the handsome Greek sorted it

thats how you see it. nevertheless: law≠logic, law≠common sense and logic≠common sense

Is is, like, what came before the Pro Logic system? Which, like, is what came before Pro Logic II and whatnot whaaa?

Why argue? He's so very obviously trolling you. Or (unlikely) is so dense that there's no point in attempting to get through to him anyway.

why don't you tell us how you see it, so we can check/approve your logic

Current mafia game is in stall mode, so I need someplace else to argue.
Or I can't help trying to explain things to people, take your pick.

I hope to see some new gameplay and how much they progressed in the time they last shown the video

I'm definitely going to pledge this Kickstarter. I can't wait to play System Shock in a modern engine, it's going to be sweeet.

System Shock Portable is still available. It just no longer includes the game.

No DRM-free version, no pledge.

And even if they promise a DRM-free version, my previous Kickstarter experiences have taught me to be very wary of promises that devs will try to weasel their way out of.

Clearly :-P

By the way, said community work is still up for download, so uh... The post you quoted doesn't actually apply at all any longer. The quoted Kolya's post seems like more of a misunderstanding than anything else and that's most likely the case since it originated before official version of SS was even released for sale on GOG.

I wouldn't trust any 'guarantee' of a DRM-free version. It will either be abandoned (alongside any promised Mac and Linux versions) due to overestimating the scope their budget gave them. Or it will be released so long after the Steam version you'll have forgotten about it, or already gone with the Steam version just so you've got something to show for your pledge.

As for the game, it almost too faithful to the original. They didn't have to be so exact with the level design and monsters given that it's been over two decades since the original. But on the plus side, that should mean that the gameplay doesn't lose any depth.
