Maybe you should do it back to them and they will get the idea that you don't appreciate it. :)

You can travel through the worker, no problem. I do it all the time as I use two workers to link cities.

Steam sale from a week or two ago?

Make sure that you verify the installation files. It had an issue with the _DX11 exe for me, I verified the cache (in Steam/Library/Games, right click on Civ 5, select Properties/Local Files/Verify Integrity of Game Cache) and it downloaded a new version of the exe, which worked fine.

Did it place a _DX11 exe in your download? Perhaps the demo doesn't include it?

By far a net positive, imo. The audience is HUGE for Steam. You may not like it, you may not buy it. But projecting your biases on the majority [in this case] won't help your cause.

It was said in one of the podcasts that there are those four different "terrain types" or texture sets. That is what each of those folders is for, I believe.

MY guess is they are the same download. In fact, I ordered the D2D deluxe, and it just says Sid Meier's Civiliztion V as the title in my Games, even through the Steam receipt thing said Deluxe...

My guess is that D2D doesn't have the keys yet. Steam will treat its [paying] customers as first class. "Those of you in first class may now preload". The rest of us (D2D, brick and mortar) will be coach class. D2D will get their keys when Steam/2K give them to them - then they call fill...

CHICAGO for $5 off $25 SANDIEGO for $10 off $50 As mentioned, good until Sep 14.

There is a difference. Pre-ordering on Steam will net you the Mesopotamia map. pre-ordering on D2D will net you the future first DLC. So, either a bonus now (Steam, seems to be a smaller bonus) or a bonus later (D2D).

For those in the US, GoGamer.com (I use them often for their sales and trust them - though shipping can take a little while longer on the cheap options) has the Civ 5 regular on sale now for the next day and a half. $39.90 US. For those wanting to get in at a sale price near the release date...

A demo MAY get some non-Civ fans on Steam interested and lead to purchase, so there is hope that 2K looks at it from that angle.

My guess is that it will be out a few days before the release. The only potential a demo will have is to get people NOT to buy it if it falls short. A non-Civ fan is not waiting on the demo to see if he/she will buy. A Civ fan may be waiting on the demo to see if he/she will buy. A demo that...

That sucks that bnet2 had an issue for you, Empire. Frustrating, I'm sure. I haven't had any problems with it at all - nor with SC2 other than needing to set the framerate cap for the menus.

Yeah, because the way to support Civ and future work on it is to steal it. Brilliant. :rolleyes:

Not even close. The number of people who would not buy, expressly because of Steam, are outnumbered easily by the people who will buy it because it is on Steam. Not sure if there is a way to measure it, however. Steam is a marketing goldmine, which of course is why 2K chose that route...

How, in any sense of the word, is that a ripoff? Or even dishonest? The game bundle was on sale for one day. That day ended, so did the sale. Today is a different day, and steam chose for their sale today to run the more popular titles that have been on sale over the past 10 days. One of...

Digital distribution and theft are two very different things. Do you think that the publishers would attempt DRM if the latter weren't prevalent? I find interesting the "theft doesn't cause material harm so it is ok" line of thinking. As soon as there are no honest people left to pay for the...

The bound book wasn't transferred. They changed the medium of the book (paper to bytes). My response was to the poster who said that a game should be like a book and that it shouldn't have an EULA. I am sure that publishers are concerned about the stealing of their copyrighted materials.
