The Vista Logo is in a bubble but the word used was "tweaked" and IMO it was tweaked.

Well said Frogboy. I'm both a Mac as well as PC user. Apple does make an excellent product both hardware and software and it's no different than Microsoft. My experince with XP, application software and the Microsoft brand has been outstanding, from their keyboards/mice to the Xbox and the Xbox360 including Xbox Live. Mac fanboys will lead you to believe that most XP systems have the wheels coming off. It has never been the case with all my XP systems.

Probably because their most vocal pundits are so insufferably smug and misguided. The computers themselves are 'fine'... The first comment is the one that got it right.

You can preorder now for those who have asked, just follow the link on the first page of the article. My question to Stardock is will my credit card be charged now if I preorder or at the time the game releases?

Stardock, I sent my activation via email and it's been almost 3 days and still no response. Should I re-submit my email activation? Thanks!

I love Civ type games i.e.CivIII, CivIV. What got my attention was the news regarding Stardock and Starforce. Since I have an absolute hatred for the copy protection scheme of Starforce ( ruined two of my cd drives), I decided to support Stardock and bought the game. I love the game and for Stardock trying to send a wakeup call to the industry. Most of the games that I have rarely get played when they have some type of copy protection unless I find a no cd patch. <img src="

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Would you purchase a multiplayer expansion? in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

I don't play multiplayer games at all so my vote would be no. And the fact it takes away from potentially other cool stuff I would rather buy digital expansion packs instead.

I have a very simple solution actually very simple. Stardock should charge $9.95 to re-register the game to the new owner. I'm glad Stardock did not use Starforce and like others I would not have touched this game with a ten foot pole.

I run a small business so I pay for my advertising. The ad looks nice but IMO spend your money on game development for a NEW Stradock game or an expansion pack for GalCivII. You are already enjoying the fruits of "FREE" advertisment in the form of the Starforce fiasco and all the great reviews the game has been recieving from the press. Based on what you, Stardock have told us GalCivII sales are strong and I believe it seeing how the game wa

Reply to Copy protection follow-up in GalCiv II News GalCiv2 Forums

Well done Stardock and I agree with everything you say regarding copy protection. Usually when I buy a PC game i'll play it for a little while and then I get turned off by having to find my cd. IMO Starforce are a bunch of thugs. Today I went out and showed my support for Stardock by going to Wally World and buying a copy. And what's even better is that it was the limited edition.
