"You can always download the cracked .EXE's man, nothing wrong with that..."

Oh, yes, there is. He paid for it, he shouldn't have to jump through hoops to play it.

"I never really understood the aversion to ANY action sequences in AG's? ...I'll grant you guys that most AG's engines don't even allow for good action, but the idea itself is fine with me, what's up with that? Why so much hatred for it?"

Maybe you have the reflexes of a twenty year old or your hands haven't stiffened up yet. Playing an adventure game and getting to a place where you cannot progress because you just can't deal with action sequences, which are totally unnecessary in an AG anyway, is the pits. The game is over for you at that point and the money you spent on it wasted. I've been stung once or twice but no more. I make darned sure a game isn't a hybrid before I buy it.
