[quote] I assume you made it that way because of balance issues?[/quote] It's actually simpler than that: It's because of performance issues. If every ship was looking at every ship in the galaxy, calculating their distance from them versus their weapon's range, and so forth all the time, well, I'm sure you could see the problem with that. [quote] Thats awesome. Might I ask what that might be? Is it a sequel?[/quote]</s
That the password should function. Re: Tighter control: We believe that the password was auto-blocked because there were two IPs that attempted to download the file; each IP was multiple states away from the other.
We've reset the password for now but ask that you place tighter control on the links you purchase from BMT or, if you're using a proxy or VPN service, to turn it off if you're attempting a re-d/l. Please let us know if you need further help. :)
Huh? Could you e-mail me the link at firgof@blind-mind.com so I can verify it? Is it malformed? Gibberish? 403'd?
No copy of Star Ruler uses DRM to my knowledge [exception: Steam]. Amazon *might* have DRM but games I've grabbed from them haven't had DRM installed. That of course doesn't mean it's guaranteed, just my anecdotes have that experience. If he bought from BMT Micro he'll get the same thing you got. Star Ruler is Star Ruler no matter what distributor you got it from as far as connections go; the only potential problem may be Steam if the new p
This prevents you from doing so how? The game doesn't prevent you from installing it somewhere else if you installed it somewhere already. It doesn't delete the setup EXE/ZIP when you install it. Just give him a copy of the installer. :P
Just zip up the EXE and put it somewhere would be my advice. :P
Do you not have any external media the game installer could be pushed to? You could just upload it to a filesharing service and send yourself the link to it and/or your brother.
[quote]So ive purchased the game in the manner that youve told me and... what the hell... am I only allowed to download the game once? How is that not DRM in itself?[/quote] Not to my knowledge. The URL should be valid forever. Besides that, as the others have said: How could that be considered DRM? You're allowed to back it up any place and any where you wish any number of times you like to whatever devices, storages, and so forth you desire. It wi
Don't feel too bad. I was jobless at 18 myself in spite of my attempts to get another and was dead broke. :p Either case. The "code" it gives you is really a URL that links to the game's download if I recall correctly. So in either case you'll get the goods. Also, we don't employ any DRM of any kind so feel free to back that file up in a secure location that you can get it from. The URL shouldn't expire either though, so as lon
Note you can also purchase Star Ruler from BMT Micro off our website: clicking the Buy Now button will get you there. It just gives you a zip or exe I believe when you complete your purchase. We did pull SR, to clarify unacomn's statement. One of our distribution partners, IGS, put it back as was their right per the agreement we signed. We're not happy about it but it was their decision to make. We are unlikely to return thanks to both
@Brillig: "Separately: As part of the acquisition, did GameStop agree to support the Gamer's Bill of Rights? Or have we been completely sold out?" Brad: As for how GameStop will treat the Gamers Bill of Rights , I can’t really speak to. Generally speaking, GameStop has always seemed pretty progressive in their sales policies such as with their handling of game trade-ins and such.
It's legitimate. I've confirmed it from both Frogboy and Phil Madis (the director of business development for Stardock); the surprise of the announcement was due to confidentiality agreements (NDAs). Additionally, the SEC would get ultra-pissed if this were a stunt.
