It's not THAT particular software, it's all of them. I'm a non-up-to-date, no-social-network-member user who has some strange, nostalgic ideas about property and such stuff.
I admit I did copy some stuff when C64 was still "the thing", but afterwards I bought my games and software always. I actually likeld owning them. Ever since I made one exception from that: I accepted (grudingly) that I would have to use Impulse to play Stardock games. The sole reason for that was that it was run basically for the products of one company mainly, which cooincidently produced the games I mainly cared about in the past few year.
Also Impulse was only needed to install the games, afterwards I would have never to open it again.
That's not true for all the others out there.
(even though I thought Steam would need constant internet connection to play the games - which basically would have meant I could write off the money paid for rebellion, but that seems not to be the case ... it "only" spies on me once a month from what I read meanwhile )
And lastly I think it's just WRONG, that when you buy a piece of softweare via one retailer it then FORCES you to install another piece of invasive software. And now I already need 2 such programs if I want to play the different stardock games I purchased in the past.
As for Rebellion, there it's probably my fault not having read the confirmation email fully. But I was sure I would find it on Impulse/GS once it got live...I never thought it could be any other way.
But as I said...I'm just some nostalgic dinousaur, who (wrongly) believes that he should actually own stuff he has bought.
