Copy protection for GC II?

November 3, 2005 11:51:57 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Sorry if this has been discussed already but I don't see how to Search here.  Thought I read somewhere that it will have STEAM like protection involving mandatory server contact before you can play.  Say it aint so!

It's not so.

What it will have (if you've bought GalCiv II online) is product activation. This will be handled by Stardock Central automatically in the background during installation/updates. You will not need to be online to play GalCiv II, however.

Sounds like Steam to me...

If it were Steam, you'd have to use SDC to launch the game. If it were Steam you'd always get verified each time you play or wait for several minutes while it checked to see if you had an Internet connection. If it were Steam you wouldn't be able to back your game up onto a CD. Shall I go on?
