Call out your fans to vote for Civ 3. It's losing!

thanks for your letter, but sorry, civ3.de won't endorse the GameSpy voting campaign.
We Europeans often are very surprised (not to say startled) about some bizarre ideas that come up from the USA. The idea of "community fistfights" between lovers of the one or the other genre is not attractive to us.
Apart from the fact that there are already enough senseless battles, I ask myself what we fans shall prove? Of course there are bigger communities and smaller communities, but this does not depend so much on quality, but rather on the popularity and commercial success of certain platforms and genres.
So we do not see the need for votes like "Doom 3" vs. "Civ 4", as this would be like "Pamela Anderson" vs. "Jodie Foster" - a totally senseless matter. Good games are like art - and history will tell which titles stay in our hearts.
Sincerely
