Can I avaoid SDCentral

from Sins Forums
Hi there, I just bought Sins because I think such a great game and developer who takes a stance against restrictive copy protecions should be supported. However I found that I need to have SDCentral installed to download, install and maintain Sins. I've no other Stardock product so that seems kind of useless to me. I normally don't want a program like that on my system. Is there a way to download a "normal" offline installer for sins and leaver SDCentral aside? Thanks in advance.

You only have to download once if you archive. Right click on the line item and you'll see all the options. You can also use the drop down menus. When archived, SDC keeps the package file in the "BACKUP" directory under SDC's installation directory. Then you can copy the file to SDC's BACKUP directory on another computer and use "restore" to install it. Save's a few hours of downloading time.

I had the same notion a long time ago when I got Galciv II. But SDC is NOTHING but a web browser that links you to game updates basically. You can also browse a large catalogue of applications and games etc. It's actually quite a nifty little program. It is not even remotely as annoying as something like Steam, which I personally think is totally ridiculous.
