Reply to Bonuspack in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No offense, but right from the bat you've got things missing. If THIS is honestly a "full game", then its light. I didn't say its not fun to play, but cmon now. Hell, this is the DEVS forum, so I wouldn't expect anyone to think anything other than positive thoughts, its simply that there seems to be ALOT going into development of the "bonus pack" (and subsequent packs), and one can only raise an eyebrow when thinking that all this purported "new" content came into development after, o

Bull. From the looks of things, this "bonus pack" has been a clear cut way for the devs to create a means to "counter" software piracy. They are making it CLEAR that the game that is SHIPPED is not the full game, and that the "bonus" content that will be included with the pack is going to pump things up.

Question? How are you going to be able to block a CD from getting bonus material update? Unless you lock out a certain cd-key, etc. - most folks will be able to have a workaround for "bonus packs" in a relatively short amount of time. No offense, but I think resources are better spent elsewhere than trying to lock out cheaters. I have yet to find a game (single-player), that has any kind of effective anti-piracy measure.
