This achievement by Stardock/Ironclad is great. Good to see a PC title selling well, espcially one that isn't WoW or Sims. If it were released in Europe as well, it would be a lot better, too. Onto this piracy debate... Piracy is actually damaging the PC market, whether you want to believe it or not. Although it's high, 90% as mentioned above is obviously way out of proportion. But here is some proof of the effects of PC piracy. Here is a quote by one of the Call of Duty D

Steam may be a competitor of Stardock, but trying to compete head-to-head with it won't gain anything. Using it would benefit both sides. If it were the other way around, for example Steam/Valve putting their games on Stardock it would obviously not be beneficial. This is not the case. [Quote]@McLovin_Nice - you missed the point. The ONLY way SD titles would get on Steam is if Frogboy did not own the company anymore. He is very adamant about the DRM thing and Steam is on the si
[quote]Microsoft office is available (legally and in the shops) for MAC. Same kind of principle...Except you've got it backwards For an analogy, Office being available for Macs would be like TF2 being available for SDC. Apple developing for Windows would be Sins available on Steam.Unless of course I'm completely off and MS Office for Mac is actually not developed by Microsoft? I can't imagine they'd let it go.[/quote] Fair point, but that idea doesn't really come into play here. Plus, Steam
It doesn't have to be bought out to be available on Steam. If you have a look, many publishers games are on steam, including some very big ones (ie. Sega, Activision, 2k, Rockstar, THQ etc). And now that you bring the Mac idea into it... Microsoft office is available (legally and in the shops) for MAC. Same kind of principle... Hmmm....
Annatar11: There's bound to be one or two people who ask "what's steam???" so I added that in there. There's not really a point in competing with Steam. Steam is much more widely used and established. There is much more to be gained by selling the product on it, rather than competing with it.
Just a suggestion that Sins should be made available on Steam. Hope I'm posting it in the right place. For those who don't know, Steam is a digital distribution programme. You have an account, where you can access all your purchased games (it offers a varied and great selection). You can buy new games there. They can be accessed at any computer, by simply logging in. They auto-update. It has a great community. I think Sins can benefit from this. Now, you'll probably say "S
