This is why populous can't be released for free.

Hiya

 

Not sure where this came from - not me for certain!

 

 

I'm not sure where this erroneous report came from - I've not spoken to EA about anything about Populous.

 

EA is a $3 billion company and retaining and owning intellectual property is one of their key missions. They have not yet in their history ever opened a game up to the public domain... so i think it's incredibly unlikely they will do this for Populous!

 

Sorry but the only way to buy copies of Populous is to look for originals at places like e-bay etc.

 

I know if must still be frustrating for fans - but if more people had bought it in the first place (rather than copying it) then this would probably be an entirely different situation...

PS I no longer work for EA so none of the above is EA sanctioned.

 

 

Thanks


Stuart
