[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="17" id="3528417"] I think Brad is well known for his Gamer's Bill of Rights. I hope to heck Stardock will stick by it ... I know Stardock has gotten bigger since then, and its frustrating to me but understandable Stardock has caved to market pressure by selling on Steam, but I hope there's an absolute rule that games that are, at their heart, single player will never get the heavy anchors of obtrusive DRM attached that only have the effect of f

[quote who="tid242" reply="4" id="3528479"] You can activate them on steam!?? [/quote] Some games like Warhammer and Company of Heroes moved to Steam multi-player so you could activate the keys on Steam after the conversion.

I personally will only buy EA if I like what is completed at the time of purchase. I am DONE with promises, road maps, schedules, etc. I have very much enjoyed buying some games early and watching them grow. But they were games that I liked at the time of purchase. Star Ruler, AI War, Space Engineers, and Planetary Annihilation come to mind as games that were interesting at initial purchase and only got better as time passed. I won't buy a tech demo. I don't care

[quote who="Ryat" reply="1" id="3476702"] That and if Steam ever goes down you can still get the game through Stardock's system. [/quote] So the game does becomes part of the Stardock account through the registration. It's not just an unlock so to speak but a serial registration. That does make some sense then.

I was wondering if Stardock would ever consider embracing Steam as their primary DRM scheme? To purchase a game now we customers need to have two login accounts. One with Steam and another with Stardock. Of course I have both because I used to be an Impulse customer. But many new customers are put off by needing two different registration processes. My thought is if you want to sell on Steam, why not go the whole way and use Steam's client as the registration. Thanks, and I look forward t

Focus on research, learning spells, and building up the main city. It will take about 60 or 70 turns before you can do much more than that.

I watched it and I enjoy your play and commentary style. and I also learned some things since I've not played through a full game of GalCiv 2. Watching LP Alpha Centauri now since I've heard so much about it but never played it.

Perfect. I do love the box art of fantasy games where the vulnerable areas like nipples and the vajay-jay are covered but the entire "heart" area is exposed.

FWIW being new to the game since v1.12 I rarely even tech the seige frigate. Sure Advent AI can be annoying with how they send their seige frigates past your invading fleet to the gravity well you left behind. (I always thought they were clever to do that.) But other than that they just seem to be slight annoyances. As it is now the choice is a 15 supply SF or a 14 supply light carrier. SF use too much fleet supply for what they do even with the fact that 2 SF (30 supply)
