FO reselling ST: Armada II

posted on June 11th, 2010, 9:13 pm

One of the barriers of entry into FO is the need for the ST: Armada II game/discs. What if FO became a reseller of ST: Armada II?  I.e. someone could buy ST: Armada II from the FO site. (would be nice if it could be downloaded from the FO site as well - i.e. electronic purchase)

Would that be legal?

The point would be to do it legally.

Hmm i doubt it but maybe people could convince activision to sell it thru Steam.

Indeed.  Working it out so that some of these old games can be downloaded like that would be great.

I remember the reason it's so expensive, is because so little were produced?

Definately. That would be too good to be true. The problem I see is that noone actually feels resposible for Armada II anymore after the fusion of Activision and Blizzard. At least there had to be a person with good connections to Activision Blizzard so things can start rolling. they will most probably refuse to answer any emails from a lowbie.

You'd have to get all three companies to agree sadly

activision owns the right for selling Armada games, but they do no longer have the rights to sell Star Trek games. issue solved is not possible
