[quote who="Frogboy" reply="233" id="2919192"]We appreciate your support. I guess one of the challenges here is that many people just see "Gamestop" as in a single monolothic corporation.[/quote] Because that's exactly what it is.

[quote who="Savyg" reply="40" id="2915979"] Quoting Kyorisu, reply 37 I know right. Imagine if Stardock became a company that had a hugely successful store to rival that of Valves which allowed you guys to work on whatever projects you wanted. And imagine how much more staff they'd have had to hire. How much more distracted they would get from the things they would prefer to be doing. Which they can do right now instead of in another three to six&nbsp

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2915707"]But the reality is, Impulse had become so successful and so big that in order to take it to the next step we would either have to commit to becoming a very different company than we are today or to find a partner who shared our vision of where we think this whole thing is going and team up. We chose the latter option.[/quote] I know right. Imagine if Stardock became a company that had a hugely successful store to rival that of

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="5" id="2740062"]That's great news about Shacknews. An undiluted review after they patch it is exactly what I need. Based on what I'm reading, I think I have a hunch what's going on. A lot of people think human interface design is something just anyone can do out of high school. Microsoft invests millions in scientific, repetitive, and kind of boring studies into finding out what people consider an intuitive interface

Reply to Question RE: ATI user problems: Could it be the drivers? Look at Borderlands--only 10.5 works right now in WOM Support Elemental Forums

My 4890 has had no issues with any drivers except for when interiors were buggered in Borderlands. Certainly no crashes though. The problem is game related not driver related.

Reply to This game is going to end up just like GalCiv1/2 in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I wouldn't worry too much right now the you can easily beat even a ridiculous AI. On my last game two AI went to war and marched their Sovs into my undefended main city. Yeah undefended sure I teleported back and took them both down. Bam 2 AI down 4 to go. This may be a TBS and a kingdom builder of sorts but that doesn't mean you cans skimp on millitary. Get some research into promoted troops (forgot what it's called) and groups of troops you'll do fine. Galciv used to kick my arse ti

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="52" id="2726224"] And that "bonus" is likely offset by the number of people who would have bought the game if they couldn't pirate it.[/quote] An utter shame this argument doesn't work. You cannot make a DRM system that will stop piracy without wasting tonnes of cash and royally pissing off all your users. You'd do more damage to yourself than you'd get in return by any magical pirates that decide to buy the game that requires an always

[quote who="Renevent" reply="47" id="2726186"]Yeah it's sad to see the pirates already taking the game...and of course along with that out comes the pirate apologist and their transparent attempts at legitimizing those actions.[/quote] Every pirate that ultimately buys the game who would have otherwise completely ignored it seems like a bonus to me. If they don't buy the game they weren't going to buy it even if the game wasn't able to be pirated, they'd go pirate something else.

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="3" id="2706419"]The problem with Bioware is that they actually BAN. Yes. BAN. you from playing your game if the developers or moderators want to. I will never, ever post on a Bioware forum, ever. [/quote] Well the obvious solution then is to not be a dick or create another account not tied to your games. Personally I'm not too fond of having accounts linked in anyway and rather like Valve's approach of having separate accounts for f

I experienced this with the Entrenchment beta for Sins but that was due to a broken XML file fixed in the 2.5 update I believe.

Reply to Updating to 1.13 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Partly it's Impulse's fault and partly it isn't. The obvious thing to do would have been to have Entrenchment in it's own little folder with it's own files to play with instead of shoving it together with Vanilla Sins. IronClad needs to look at how Galciv was done with each addon having it's own seperate folder whilst using the vanilla games assets when it needed to.

Reply to Unable to Uninstall Entrenchment in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've never liked Impulse or the old SDC because at one time or another they horribly cockup. This is one of those cases. I've done a fresh install of Sins + Entrenchment. I archived Sins before installing Entrenchment. Now I can play the game just fine that's not a problem. However I cannot archive Entrenchment (Impulse just sits around doing nothing and right clicking I can cancel some invisible installation). Try to uninstall Entrenchment and I get the same XML error. Being a fresh
