Reply to I want my money back! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Man, I want to like this company, but its hard. I wont even register Sins, bought that and Galactic Civ2{which I have registered} but I just dont like the philosophy of thinking everyone is either crooked or out to burn them. Good luck but you wont see anything I think. As for the defensive fanboys on these forums, I normally dont post, just read, because they take too much delight in twisting shit to support their points.

Reply to Let's solve the piracy problem. in Everything Else Sins Forums

I give my hard earned money to companies that put out a great product. For the price they want for games the caveat is it must be a GREAT product. Not mediocre, or pretty good. It really has to be great. The pricing system is what has led a lot of people down the path of piracy, because its piracy for a company to charge 50 to 60 bucks for a half assed attempt at a game. I have in the past checked out a torrent or two, and probably will again in the future, since like it has been pointe

true. Not trying to find excuses from you fellows, just bored and and kinda peeved that I had to go to the store to purchase and then return it also. As you can tell I didnt register the key or keep it even, so the next guy who buys that game i returned wont be screwed. They can use your system no problem.

Sorry I also meant to add that yes I would prefer having a legit copy in the dvd drive and using that to verify that I AM NOT A THIEF. And I did give the game a try, had a little fun , then went to patch and thought, nope, not for me, or for many. Believe me when I say that I am not the only one who is against this. I have asked a few gamer friends, (who all work and BUY their games) and about 4 outta 5 say no also to this manner of copyright protection. Sorry for not being a fan of the system,

I never use torrents, tried them years ago and they are full of viruses and spyware usually. I have already returned galciv2 like i said I was going to. the invasiuve part comes from the request for info that I have already given to the software, I dont want to have to re-iterate things like cd keys or serials, I just want the patchs and such. "treated like thieves" refers to the verification process, if I could do it offline I wouldnt be so peeved. If there was a multiplayer aspect then yes, it

OK. So I go out and actually spend my hard earned cash on this game at the local wal-mart. Then I see that there is a patch available but I need to use my key for online activation. bleh. I have never had to go through this crap before to update a game that I own, and I know I will never go through it again. I am going to return my copy to wal-mart ( they always take them back here, no questions asked.) and I will never give any cash to your company again. I am so disgusted, I bought oblivion at
