[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="2" id="2003458"] Quoting FrznMD, reply 1Please fix the RAM limit, apparently SINS crashes when you use 2gig or more. This should be a priority. It's a 32-bit application. (The other 2GB is reserved for kernel space-you can modify it to 3GB application/1GB kernel, but I believe you have to modify the exe.)[/quote] First, Stardock cannot fixe windows... these limit are related to the operating system, no the game it

[quote who="epiclulz" reply="22" id="1999399"] What difference does it make to them whether serial XYZ-1234 is owned by person A or person B? If ownership is transferred from A to B, the number of copies that they have to support does not increase at all, and if they offloaded most of their file hosting to third party providers like Fileplanet it wouldn't make any difference who downloads the patches. Stardock just wants to kill second hand sales because they're greedy. Of course they ca
