Reply to ANOTHER VENDOR SPYS ME OUT - updates only via impluse :-( in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="1948531"] Asking users to type in some data to identify who they are is no different than requiring user to type in your user ID and password before posting on this forum.

Reply to Forbes Publishes a Primer on Fighting Digital Pirates - Frogboy is Prominently Featured in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="danw13335" reply="10" id="1932201"] Quoting nightwraith40k, reply 6 (Which I have to laugh at Crytek's thinking, that they are safe from pirating in the console market) Wait, what? All of Crytek's games have been released for the PC only. Sorry if I'm missing something here, and I probably am. Are there console ports of Crysis or something? Anyway, it's nice to see Stardock getting more and more attention in the media.

[quote] Wardell concedes that a lot of Stardock's success with its incentive program may also follow the fact that the company's strategy games appeal to an older demographic of gamers who typically have disposable income.

Reply to Tom's Hardware Article on New Stardock Non-Intrusive DRM in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote who="Trigeminal" reply="5" id="1918824"] Hopefully, the idea that online activation can be paired with free download, if the disc is lost, and no disc in the machine. This to me seems like an equitable trade as long as the online activation is fairly seemless and not cubersome. [/quote] Isn't that idea pretty much the way Steam operates? Which is still better than online activations alone.

Reply to Have you ever downloaded a game? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I have never downloaded any game ilegally in my entire life, I believe that I have a the benefit from reading reviews and playing demos, if I like the game I will buy it. This is exactly how I got Sins of a Solar Empire, I read the Gamespot review, watched the IGN review and then played the demo. After that I loved it so much I went out and bought the game. I do not have any P2P software. I will always buy games no matter what. If I don't not pay for a product, developers will not get

Reply to Turn-based option in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"]It would actually be a hybrid, a new game concept! I like a less hectic pace. I think such an option would attract TBS players. It beats me why RTS developers have not figured this option out out long ago. It is so simple to implement. and will not detract from the RTS player's enjoyment of the game. Why not include this in the next patch? It is a no-brainer and will sell more games. [/quote] Well actually Rise of Nations had this option, it

[Bug] Phase Jumping in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Well I'm playing a 1 v 1 game on Derelict, I had a little raid going on the enemy Advent planet, when the AI showed up with 2 cap ships and alot more frigates than me. I was getting owned, so I retreated. My last Cobalt started to punch into Phase space but then it just kept on moving (it was moving when it created the window) and stopped right where the phase window animation is present. There were no ships behind it so it was that Cobalt which made the phase window. I've taken a few sc
