Praises and Thank-Yous!

It's never too early to say it.

from GalCiv2 Forums
Let me *try* to be the first to say "Thanks Stardock" and heap on some praises. Let us employ bards to document this epic date. Everything about this newly released game is WOW! Awesome. Thank you for your hard work, long hours, dedication, and passion for making the game. Absolutely the best!

PS. Looks like even the pre-loading is a smash hit!

I now call on the diplomats, veterans, and citizens of this forum to back me up on this and write their own 'Thank You'.

Praises are due indeed.

Compare to the downloan of GalCiv some years back, this downloaded much faster and with no hiccup.

Thanks for putting there the extra care ( and bandwidth ).

Looking forward to release date.

Yea, I just wanted to add how awesome you guys are.  I downloaded everything in under 45 minutes from a cable connection.  That's simply unbeatable.

My first post. Been around for a little bit just reading. Mine as well make the first post a thank you post.

Its rare a company impresses me. Stardock has done that. You guys have a grasp of what it feels like to be a frustrated gamer when it matters most...on release day. I have long since stopped buying games from EA (oh my god...) and other big name companies (Firaxis is the only other company I will buy a game from nowadays). You guys are involved in the community, and are very much in tune with your customer base. Its certainly great to see the devs actually answering questions and responding to both the constructive criticism and the questions I am sure they are asked 15 times a day. Electronic and advanced downloading should be a policy MANY more game companies out there should take a serious look at.

After all of this (which is WAY more then what other companies out there do), I do have one request. Don't change one bit from this policy. Its what distinguishes you from the rest.

Thanks!

I'll get right to it. I want to congratulate Stardock on their magnificent customer-friendly attitude. In the big heap that the software-industry has become, it seems you didn't forget that customers are what keeps companies going. In the past I sometimes really got frustrated about other companies' behaviour towards game-development and fan-community handling in the proces (pre- and post-release, as I'm sure you will continue, as allready promised, this positive attitude in the months after the release of GCII). In the past I witnessed companies who would not even recognise a patently obvious bug (though the whole community was complaining about it), they kept on claiming there was no bug. They only fixed the bug with an expansion-pack (only at that time did they publicly admit that there had been a bug). Needless to say, without buying the expansion: no bug-fix... Though I had been a costumer from their first release, they definetly lost me in the proces. Their games are in my opinion a real loss of potential. If they would only pursue a better policy, I'm sure their games could become genuine classics, instead of the deciptive classics they're being held for at the moment (due to good reviews; that's why I sometimes doubt how far reviewers go into games, because okay, at the surface their games look fantastic). Now, I'm likewise inclined to say that Stardock is behaving in exactly the oposite way and therefor deserve every credit. Since I can be defined as a satisfied Stardock-customer (and fan in the making), I wanted to voice my satisfaction. But I want also want to voice a concern: don't grow to big, stay the way you are and keep on going on that fantastic policy of yours.

Truly yours,
Luca C.

I whole-heartedly agree with the other posters. Stardock has earned my undying respect and support. From no other game company could you get the kind of community involvement that you find with Stardock. I mean, the Big Cheese of the company has posted twice in this very thread! I, like almost every other gamer, like to be treated with respect and like my game companies to be up-front and honest with me. I do not like being kept in the dark or treated like a criminal. Stardock does neither. Thank you for treating me like a valued customer! I can't wait to download Galciv 2 tomorrow. *rubs hands in anticipation*
