[quote who="Annatar11" reply="388" id="2717505"] And honestly, aren't you guys all about not hurting the paying customers? Technically speaking, someone who plays it for free is not a paying customer. You are, and the game functions perfectly for you, but if someone else wants to play it, it's perfectly reasonable to expect them to become a paying customer. That said, some leniency isn't a bad thing by any means, families traditionally share after all, and while they woul

Battlefield 2 complete collection Age of Empires 3 Europa Universals 3 Supreme Commander Majesty 2 (2010) I'd be interested to see how many of those explicitly allow it, and how many simply don't do anything that prevents it.[/quote] It's really not a big deal if all copies are on my own PC

[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="377" id="2717315"]The times they are a changing. Whether for good or bad, it seems many have to catch up with the new reality. @Beric01 "Pretty much every LAN-capable game I own even outside of Impulse can, though most games I own are older games." In the interest of fairness why don't you list the games you mean and the year they were released? I have games so old that you had to use a paper wheel and match up symbo

[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="372" id="2717099"] Quoting Beric01, reply 364Here's my problem. I have 3 computers, and I've installed Stardock games on all of them. Sometimes I like to play a Stardock LAN game on them with friends/family, such as Sins of a Solar Empire or Demigod. I paid the $80 up front for the limited edition expecting to be able to do that, as figured it was worth it. Now it appears if my brother wants to play a game with me on launch day, I'll have to pay another $50

Reply to Elemental: We’re so excited! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Wizaerd" reply="158" id="2703094"]I haven't read through this entire thread, but I'm curious if Impulse will be required for Elemental In North America (Arizona), even if I purchase a retail boxed copy? I had Impulse once upon a time when I played Sins of a Solar Empire, but since then I've gotten a new machine, and I don't play Sins anymore, and dont really care to re-install it, nor do I really want to re-install Impulse... Not a big fan of DD, and would much rather do wit

Reply to Diplomatic Capital: Big Beta Tester Win! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm more of a singeplayer person as well, but please make it work for multiplayer. The AI needs to be able to use it on me as well. The AI should offer me diplomatic offers, and they should have value. This resource needs to have actual value. As charisma of diplomats discussing deals between nations cannot be modeled, why not make DC have actual value, like a trade good, or being able to use it to force players to do something they wouldn't otherwise do? I want this ga

Reply to The cloth map. (poll'ish) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Zoomed in looks very pretty, but the symbols of what things are are far less clear in the 3D, vs. the cloth map. I like seeing things close though, so I find myself reluctantly zooming in and out all the time. Something isn't right, TBH.

[Suggestion] Dialog box before using consumable quest items? in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

So I was doing one of the essence potion quests. i tried to double-click on the ring next to it to outfit it, but instead clicked on the potion. Poof! It was gone. Of course, I then would be unable to complete the quest. While drinking the potion rather than completing the quest should be a viable option, couldn't we at least make sure the player wants to do this? Also, the quest should insta-fail if you do drink the potion.

Reply to 3B - Load Game Limbo in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

First time I tried to load an autosave (from my current game, as I'd made a mistake), the game crashed. I restarted the game and got the same bug as the OP. So I quit the game, restarted it, and loaded the autosave again, and it worked. Annoying though.

Reply to Mods you would not like to play.. in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Sorry, but I'd love an anime mod. I like anime almost as much as I like PC games. And fantasy anime is even better. Add something "cute" to an anime mod and I'll play it already. Kawaii! [e digicons]:drool:[/e]
