"Challenge Everything"

August 9, 2006 5:38:21 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Am I seeing things, or does the current web poll just have one choice to vote for? Or put more simply, has Stardock been bought out by EA? If I wanted to see that kind of stuff in a forum, I'd just go out and buy (insert gagging, retching sounds here) an EA game.

Incidentally, with respec to the poll, I don't much mind the way Stardock distributes updates, but I am against the Stardock Central thing for picking up betas. I find that I can wait for the final patch just fine, and I don't need the grief of the extra software just to get incremental patches. So, I like it when Stardock releases final patches, and those final patches have been of high quality. I don't like the beta patches as much, and I don't use Stardock Central to get them.

Oh, I see, now. I think I must have logged in just as the poll was being created. Now there are more choices. Well, the choices make things a bit clearer:

I certainly do not mind entering my serial number to get updates. If this makes life easier for Stardock and harder for scum-sucking, sea-urchin software pirates, then I am all for it.

Um, you know you can set Stardock Central to not show pre-release software, right?

I do not like StardockCentral either, because hey, I am not insane enough to use a Windows-computer WITH access to the internet. No Sir, never. Paranoid? Yes Sir, and proud of it!

Because using a firewall and avoiding IE like the plague is so very, very hard to do

Or better yet, you could just install Windows Defender and never have to worry about it again.

Heh, the first firewall program I installed on my PC correupted my windows registry and I had to reformat. Yay for using something like Firefox instead of IE though.
