[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="52" id="3332711"] Benjamin Franklin once said there's 3 certain things in life: death, taxes, and Steam debates. They pop up at the oddest times. When his kite was struck by lightning, some random dude mentioned to Ben that 's just like steam - it's shockingly dangerous. Some other random dude said thats a bunch of British East India Company bologna and Steam kisses babies and solves world hunger. I don't know what to believe anymore.

I been running the beta version for months now with zero issues.' Steam just forced Skyrim's latest patch on me and wrecked my current save game. That just re-enforces my resolve to never buy another single player game that requires Steam. As good as this looks, I'll pass.

I really love the way Stardock is supporting those who bought into this game early. It's truly fantastic. But... I now have Galactic Civilizations I and Galactic Civilizations II and all expansions for both, bought from Stardock that now require me have Gamstop's PC app. I have Sins of the Solar Empre and all expansions, bought from Stardock that now requires Gamestop's app for the earlier stuff and Steam for the most recent expansion. And now I hav

Are there any plans to introduce such support? I've also bought SotS at retail. I guess I wasn't fully aware of the first/third party divide. I was thinking that SotS would work just the same as GalCiv 1 & 2 and Sins, which I also picked up at my local game store.
