Amen brother! Never regretted the decision for a moment!! Best investment I ever made. Based on the number of hours played this game was almost free.   

When I had the chance to pay money early to become an Elite Founder for GalCiv3, I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the money long before I could actually get anything.  As I thought more about it, I started thinking about GalCiv2 and how much I spent on it.  I bought physical versions of the game and its expansions at first.  Later I bought electronic versions as new expansions were released.  All this buying meant that I had bought several copies of the original game along with the various expansions.  I finally decided paying the money early for GalCiv3 was a good deal.  I did it in March, 2014.  Once the game was released, it didn’t take long for me to be sure that I made the right choice.

I haven’t had to worry about getting any of the expansions or DLC, because they are always automatically downloaded when they get released.  With the hours I’ve put into the game, the cost has been very cheap on a $/hr basis.  Actually, it’s a cents/hr basis.  I just calculated it and found that it’s a little more than 2 cents/hr for me.  I consider that to be real bargain.

Thanks guys!

We appreciate it!

I did not buy the founder's edition of GCIII and am sorry I did not.  I have bought every DLC (except the villains of star control, which I am uninterested in) and spent far more than I would have had I founded.  I'm not too sorry about that, I've put a lot of hours into this game.  If/when GC4 makes a founder edition available, I'll be in.
