Mmmm....poutine is delicious!
I think of it more in terms of whether or not it adds value. Pointless swearing, gore, sex, etc. wouldn't have added much value to our game, but would have limited our reach. I wanted to have bodies flying out of ships in the debris, for example, but at their tiny scale, the value added was minimal, so it wasn't worth taking the ESRB hit.
My apologies, I was referring to movies when I said ratings, NOT ESRB ratings for games :)
I don't work for Stardock and this is not MY product. You can find information on monopolies from whatever source you like. I am not presenting anything new here.
I'm not so sure anyone is trying to take the moral high ground here. It's more a function of economic reality. 'Evil' or not, monopolies, and oligopolies for that matter will strip purchasing power from the end consumer.
Ever wonder what fuels the developers at Ironclad? I'll start with a typical day and see what fools will follow...

[quote]And yes, how incredibly charitable by Stardock to provide such incredibly gracious updates such as high-graphic settings.[/quote] I think you may be confused. 'High-end graphic settings' refers to the interface, the real value is in the extensive free graphic texturing and back-end programming that allows low and mid range systems to run more efficiently with much greater graphic quality.

To be true to the lore, only the Vasari Starbases will be able to move.
I call mine 'The great Mulumba'
Nice work Stardock!
If a Beta wasn't broken, it wouldn't be a beta :P It's coming soon, but unfortunately we can't give you an ETA.
