This is unfortunate, as netbooks are a major market that they have available, which continues to grow. I spend more time away from home that at it, and am probably going to buy a netbook soon so I can compute without carrying much weight. It would be nice to be able to play Sins on it, too. I really love the game, and would love to take it with me. Would you rather me fall back on my DS for portable entertainment? That's going to mean more of my good will going to Nintendo and Squa

[quote who="AngoraFish" reply="7" id="2117641"] The score to date: Pirates 2 : Stardock 0. Number of future customers lost: 4 Great job guys![/quote] Thief. You pretty much just admitted that you're now a full-fledged pirate, and no longer merely a customer angry about inconvenience. So are your 4 friends. You and your Impulse account ought to be perma-banned. You're already pirating

[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="24" id="2114977"]So, the "file sharing" excuse is a bad one... pirate can make package in a easy way... more, i will be obligate to use the service of pirate for have a 1.15 version of sins... having a legal version of sins and Entrenchment, i cannot have the wished update via legal way... Stardock and Impulse are promoting the pirate work in some way...[/quote] No, they are promoting nothing of the kind. It is all on *you* when

[quote quoting="post"] Dear Stardock, I'm sorely thoroughly dissapointed in you. [/quote] I'm going to make sure to buy 2 copies of the next game I buy from them, to make up for your lost sale. Seriously. I am so. Frickin. Tired. Of you damn anti-DRM whiners. You want the company to provide everything for you, for free, without having to do any work at all, and you completely flip out whe

CPU seems to be more of a concern for this game than GFX card. It's like SupCom in that aspect. Game really starts to chug in late-late, really big battles, due to having to run the AI for so many ships. My archaic Pentium IV CPU writhes in agony at being asked to do so much. ^_^ Yeah, Single Core, keeping it real.

Don't give me that "Oh, i have a career, and a life" thing. I work full time, and maintain a relationship as well as regularly tabletop game. Sometimes I want to play Sins, but things don't work out, I don't go throwing a Hissy fit just because I had to play something else for a few hours to pass the time. I don't really have any sympathy for the anti-DRM wackoes and thier "blowing off steam". Sure, I think there's as much justifable anger tow

Giving a cookie is a form of agreement, not disagreement [e digicons]:P[/e] Apologies for the confusion My bad. ^_^ But still, there's plenty of folks like that, even on this forum.

You *are* getting a finished product, not renting. You buy Sins, install it, you've got a finished game. It works. Sure, it's not perfect, there's room for improvement, but when I bought my original copy of Sins I played it for weeks, and loved it, without ever thinking about downloading Impulse and patching it that way. The patching is goodwill on the Devs, a way of saying "thank you" to the fans. I think they have every right t

You, sir, get a cookie. [e digicons];)[/e] Really? Seriously? So you just want everything for free, basically is what it boils down to. You don't want to have to pay for anything, and you want somebody else to do the work, and not earn anything from it.

Making patches takes work, money. The money that the game costs to buy pays back developing costs of the game, it doesn't cover indefinite patching too. I don't really see anything wrong with being dependent on the mothership for patches, because of this reason. You understand that the money that pays the salaries of the Stardock Devs, that comes from people *buying the game*, right? So, with that understanding, I think it's perfec

I don't see the point of your whining. Impulse is way less intrusive than most ditigital distribution systems. You don't even have to *have it installed* to run the game. After installing Sins you can remove Impulse and the friggin game will still chug along just fine. Seriously, you've got no case here. You're just getting pissy because you couldn't play for a few hours. If I were Stardock I wouldn't want your business anyway.
