I am well aware, Alex, of the risks every time one uses a card, even for money from the 'hole in the wall'. Well, be that as it may, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Stardock find some way to put the expansion pack in the shops over here in the UK! Pretty please? ;) I am sure you would turn a profit on it!
Well, thanks for the all the advice, guys. BUT consider this, that, as I say, I have read reports that there there are now worms/viruses out there which criminal hackers can use to bury through your firewall to go get at your credit card details! In a British C4 documentary last year or the year efore, an ex-hacker showed how it was child's play to get into a secure site, for Heaven's sake! :( For Pete's sake, why cant I go into a UK store and buy the expansion pack? This reall
Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg, as a UK citizen, you can apparently only risk buying the game online, with all the hazards that implies, or make out an expensive purchase order in dollars to buy it mail order from America! The moral for UK citizens appears to be obvious, my friend. We are second class citizens for American games. Properly marketed, the GalCiv expansion pack should have been obtainable and would have been bought by me in my local shop or at least by mail order in the UK,
Thanks for your email, Citizen Primus Ordines Aaberg, but I find it is bloody hopeless! :( I live in the UK. Either I buy the game online and I just dont think from all the reports I read that purchasing online is safe or I make an expensive order in dollars to buy the game from America directly. The moral, it seems to me, is that we U.K. citizens should be very wary of buying any American game! I am disgusted! :( But thanks again for the attempt to help.
Bloody marvellous! Thank you, Stardock, the option you give us UK citizens is either one hazards putting one's credit card details over the Web or go to the extraodinary and expensive hassle, if you live in the UK, of purchasing an order expensively in dollars an expansion pack which one would reasonably have expected to be on sale in UK shops! The Net reportedly just isnt sufficiently safe for purchases, from all the articles one reads. This was the dilemma I faced with Space Empires
Bloody marvellous! Thank you, Stardock, the options you give us is either one hazards putting one's credit card details over the Web or go to the extraodinary and expensive hassle, if you live in the UK, as I do, of buying expensively in dollars an expansion pack which one would reasonably have expected to be on sale in UK shops! This was the dilemma I faced with Space Empires IV which I eventually decided to avoid, despite how good I heard the game was! I, as an English fan, have lear
Many thanks for the advice, Citizen jab2565. I was interested in the game Space Enmpires IV but, guess what, as a UK citizen, I found I could only buy the game on the bloody Internet! :( It just aint safe to buy on the Internet, Citizen jab2565! The number of articles and documentaries I have seen on how unsafe it can be has given me terminal heebie-jeebies! I saw this documentary last year on British TV, C4, how an ex-hacker was challenged to break into a supposedly secure site, the k
Many, many thanks, Citizen PJ for the advice. I have just emailled Stardock to find out if I can buy it by cheque. It doesnt make commercial sense to be able to buy the original game in the shops and then subsequently only online! :( I dont understand the problem that space strategy games are undergoing at the moment. There is, it seems to me, a big and continuing market out there for good space strategy games but DR apparently just cancelled their follow-up to Imperium Galactica II, Ga
Is there absolutely no way to buy the add-on by mail-order or through a shop and if not, in the UK, that is at least, and if not, why not? Buying by Internet still isnt that secure!!!
Thanks fellows! Live long and prosper! ;)
How do you colonise with Colony Ships? My colony ships have been meandering around as I work out how to direct them and then when I do get to a suitable starsystem and click on the bridge/advisor panel, I cant see a colonisation option! Help! (:(
