I think the fact that its NOT good was the general point. This player, Anakin has obviously just for spite left the game running long after there was no possible way for him toe ven hurt his opponent. It was a pure move to force the other play to tediously jump from planet to planet destroying everything then bombing the planet itself. The proposed change is, if I am reading this correctly, simply there to stop the mindless tedium once a clear winner has been decided.

Your being confusing here. If Stardock/Iron clad are expected to be able to make a profit then they are expected to receive a cut of the money every single time a copy Sins of a Solar Empire is cought. When you purchase the game you purchase a non transferable CD key. You AGREE to this. Even if they dont print it on the box if you have a computer and are in the habbit of purchasing computer games you SHOULD KNOW THIS. Of COURSE Stardock/Ironclad dont want rampant secondh

I agree Simmyaz. I cant really understand what all the bitching is about... Sins does not require you to run Impulse in the background, it does not care if its even on your system. If you really have THAT much of a problem with the product taking up space on your hard drive then just UNINSTALL it... if there is a patch you could wrestle with the collosal issue of quickly installing the product for the update or not... If space is not the issue just make sure the product does not start

Yup. I live in Australia and went with the digital download option. I could not wait for two months for the game to be released in Australia. Grab it, its well worth the money;)
