Confession: I had originally purchased OOTPB 20 with an eSellerate license. When the news in this thread was announced, I hemmed and hawed - yes, I value Markus' reassurance on the first page but I couldn't feel comfortable, nonetheless - so I broke down and purchased a Fastspring license, just in case.

I am NOT advocating people to do this. Game companies should be responsible for their products and this includes OOTPD. To their credit, they said they would, for OOTP20 (not as definite for older versions), "find a way to give an alternate license for people who asked, either to the new store or Steam."

So don't do what I did. However, I can sleep well at night, knowing that my favorite game is safe from the cyber vagaries implied by the "eseller not working" messages above. Someday, that will not be a false alarm.

For 28 minutes yesterday, from 7:20PM to 7:48PM EST, I would have been a basket case if I had seen those posts were it not for this "insurance policy"!
