''Guess who'll be laughing when you can't buy anything?

That, and someone could just walk up behind you and stab or shoot you. Good luck leaving the house each day.''

not me thats for sure since i'll either be so old i wont care or i'll be dead and buryed.

DD wont be standard for a good amount of years, Even longer if some companys start mis-treating its costumers. 

yeah i could get shot or stabbed.. But that will kill me, Not take all my money and leave me a street bum.

''I bet he hides his money under his pillow out of fear of someone robbing the bank. Seriously this guy wants the companies to jump through hoops to give him what he wants...........a single customer that wont make or break stardock and ironclad..............sorry buddy if you cant accept advancements in technology and methods of selling products. You might want to move to some godforsaken african nation. Might have to worry about genocide, but you wont have to worry about anyone getting your bank account number...........Not that your bank cant report the crime to the police and reimburse you for your loses. But hey, if you actually want to believe that your under watch by some hackers all out to get you...........seriously, see a psychologist.''

Quite honestly what i want is the expansion to a game that i own without needing to risk all my money for it, Is that such a bad thing to ask for? 

I'v got nothing against advancements but we have to ask ourselves ''Is this really the best option?'' 

So hackers dont exist is that what your saying? Nobody has ever been hacked or hade there credit cards stolen and been ripped of for large sums of money? Get lost you drone.

''No credit card. No bank card. No checks.

Obvious child is obvious.

The kid just doesn't have anything but cash, because his parents wont let him open a checking account until he's a little bit older and a bit more responsible.

Mystery solved.

Shepherd, if you ask your parents really nicely, they might order the game for you... heck, they might even pay for it if you keep your grades up!''

Nope i do not own a credit card and i dont plan to in any future.

Last thing i hade to ask my parents to buy for me was a microwave... And that was because i hade spent all the money i could on stuff for my appartment.

And i dont get you people, If its not a mindless drone its a little kid... News for you little kid, Not all adults are brainwashed drones.

ok then if your not willing to pay buy credit card or paypal or get a plane and fly and pay in cash why do you carry on its clear you wont be able to buy the expansions seperately without downloading them

do you have Shops in your town or you living in the hills LOL go to a shop buy disposable credit card you can get them in most countries top it up to the amount (i would just above the amount due to exchange rates) and buy that way no-one gets hold of your bank details or card details problem solved

and do yourself a favour stop flaming everyone here has given you options and your reply is and i quote "No" so your not helping yourself in any means

i couldn't help but laugh.

the person who wrote this is called crazy guy.

EDIT: wats rong with the smilies? they haven't been working these past few days.

''I think I got a solution for you.

Get a plane ticket.

Fly to Michigan.

And pay for it in cash.''

Not in this life time.

way to expensive and i dont feel much like getting the flu.. "

"I dont live in the U.S

I live in europe, Sweden to more specfic, People dont use checks and banks dont hand out check books. therefor i cant get any checks nor would they accept a check even if i could manage to get ahold of one, Since apprently only U.S checks are allowed"

Way too funny. No one else has the flu, its just a world wide pandemic thats just skipped Sweden and the rest of the world completly.

Yeah ok partys over for all you forum trolls and flamer idiots, 

Moderators(or who the hell ever has the power to lock threads) please lock this 

I might have a solution and at best i'll be getting Entrenchment soon and if that works there will be a pre-order on Diplomacy to. 

+1 for mentioning disposable credit cards as this i found out (trough bank page) it was possible and required no registration.

and a big F**K YOU to all you trolls and flamers.

yeah were the flamers cause we came in here gave you credible options, you shot them down then got upset when we told you off for being paranoid. If anyone is the flamer its you, you made up a thread so you could ask for peoples advice then shot them all down as if the world was out to get you.

BrotherShepherd makes a good point though, we live in an age when anyone can track you with a little time spent on google. i can also see the point of 'we rely on technology too much' cause we do everything is done online or through email. its hard to find phone numbers for support lines in game manuals and oh my god if we actually want to see our money (which isnt worth the paper its on if you live in the states). if the world went into a global blackout or the major financial cities were wiped out accross the globe the markets would grind to a halt b/c barely anyone keeps a valid hard copy account these days.

any if you don't think it could happen, 9/11 until that happened ppl thought that America was impervious, sure woke us up didn't it? the problem is with all our technology we've become arrogant but when (since its just a matter of time really) it all fails it wont be a wake up call like 9/11 and pearl harbor before it, it'll be a global disaster.

OP, your best course of action is to contact [email protected] and see if you can work something out.  And to some of the others, some places really don't have disposable debit cards and the like.  Some online stores won't accept them (I don't know SD's policy on disposable debit cards, BTW). 

Biggest.  Understatement.  Ever!  There are very few things that could cause that.  The most likely would be a mass EMP* attack around the world.  Of course, such an attack would be/cause WWIII. 

*Generated by setting off nukes very high in the atmosphere above major cities.

It don't sound stupid, it is stupid...

What stop you to transfer 10$ from your bank account to your paypal account... once the money is on paypal, directly order the product your wish... somebody hack your paypal account !!! And what, all the money will be already used, only remain a few cent...

You don't seek a solution, you are simply a troll... i have no check, i have no credit card, only use paypal with the amount needed for pay what i wish, never reply to spam asking my paypal password, have never certify my paypal account with a credit card... yes, i am a parano but i keep my two feet on the ground...

Maybe you need to change your euro in their gold equivalent... who know, maybe tomorrow, some economical crash will make our euro having the same value that toilet paper...

And...erm...how exactly do you plan on paying this bill? Normally people pay bills by credit card or cheque, but since you seem to have neither...

I think we chased the guy away. good riddens, he really only came in here to pout about not being able to buy the game the way hes been used to. Going to walmart and getting the hardcopy. The reality is game companies are shifting to downloadable software instead of the wasted money that goes with hardcopies. Hes behind on times and just wanted to troll. This thread should be locked theirs nothing more to say about the issue as hes left.
