¿Question #1498?
Johan: Apart from having too many games already, why should I NOT buy 'In The Shadow of the Emperor'?

ricardofo: No idea

Keonyn: Because why would you want to be stuck in anyones shadow?
DHEK: I don't know the game enough to try to convince you not to buy it. Or wait, how about this: "Save your money for a better use! Think of all the poor people in Africa and Asia! You should be ashamed of yourself... using money for wasteful leisurely pursuits like that!"
Benzebub: It costs more than you're willing to pay.
aleo09: no reaseon, do it

Cavedog_pdx: Because you will only play it once?
skrutsch: Sebastian Bleasdale said, "I felt like knawing my leg off while I was playing this game, where one person started off as king, and remained king for the rest of the game. I'd replay to see if this was just an artifact of how we played, but the first play is any indication, that'd be the only time I'd play again."
meshuggener: Why should you stop breathing?
Randy Cox: Because it might not be so good
Musti: I have no idea. Buy it and tell me if I should get it
HappyProle: You're poor. If you're not poor, then I can't think of any good reason.
