I meant to post earlier that this issue was resolved to my complete satisfaction, and I am now happily playing the game. Thanks again!

I bought a new, sealed, boxed retail copy of Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords, only to discover that the CDs will not install. The CDs are clean, without scratches, and my drive reads all my other CDs without a problem.

Like I said, I know nothing about this patch and was led to believe the expansion

It's one thing to say, "I'm upset because I don't have regular internet and can't enjoy the game to its full potential." That's fine. Say it and be done. Or you might be saying "I wish the game didn't have so many bugs." that's fine, too. Say it and be done. But I honestly can't figure out what your point is. Saying that Stardock is "discriminating" against people without internet is like (by parity of reasoning) saying that Stardock discriminates against Eskimos because they have
