I bought the game on principle

from GalCiv2 Forums
Just thought I'd put it here in a public forum...

I bought this game not knowing anything at all about it, never having played any other game in the series, for the sole reason that there is no copy protection on the game. I hear from some friends that it's a pretty good game, but I'm not much a fan of the sim genre, so I doubt if I even play it for more than an hour or so total.

I could go on a rant about the evils of copy protection, but I'm sure everybody that cares already knows every point I would make, and everybody else just doesn't care, so I'll leave it at this: Starforce can suck it. They can suck it dry.

You seriously bought the game knowing nothing about it, having no interest in it, and only because it had no copy protection.

Yes, and it's not the first time.

I, as a consumer, have only one way to make my voice heard, and that is with my purchasing habits. I absoultely refuse to buy any game that has any type of intrusive copy protection. I will either pirate it or just not play the game. The only way I have to encourage companies to do what I want them to do is to support them when they do something I like, and to not support them when they do things I don't agree with, so that's what I do.

Same here... And because I got a free poster with it

I do hope I'll like the game though...
