    I Have the-a Buyer's Remorse!

    Most prebuilt computers come with really awful video cards. Just because you bought the computer recently doesn't change that.

    i am going to wait for a crazy steam deal

    There is some validity to your thinking - I have always cringed at buying games at $50 or above, and have no problem waiting for prices to drop since my pc is usually years behind the curve anyways. But make sure not to fall into the trap of thinking that selling for $50 is the optimum price...

    Anti-Steam Petition

    I think people may be using different definitions of "free". The people saying that it's free mean that 2k is not paying them directly. This does not mean they don't make money off this. Google offers a HUGE amount of "free" services, and they are not "a generous company willing to make no...

    Anti-Steam Petition

    Safedisc did checks for virtual drives, which required the installation of a driver needing access to the hardware on a pretty low level. Microsoft ended up having to patch Windows XP because Safedisc introduced a vulnerability.

    Anti-Steam Petition

    You are correct sir, my mistake. SafeDisc is the one that installed a rootkit, which is arguably worse. Good times...

    Anti-Steam Petition

    Neither did I, so I can relate. I bought it later when it got offered on Steam for cheap because I hate SecuROM and most DRM with a passion. If the Steam version was going to come out with extra DRM (as they often do) I was planning not to buy it. It took me a while to warm to Steam since it was...

    Anti-Steam Petition

    You guys put up with SecuROM on Civ4 at launch, but you don't like Steam? At the time SecuROM couldn't even be uninstalled! I know there are some of you out there who would have a problem with ANY DRM, but you are the same people who will not be playing the game or trying very hard to pirate a...

    Easy on the DRM pretty please?

    The sad part is that no DRM is going to be effective against piracy on Civ5, since it's mainly a single-player game. Starcraft 2, from what I've read, will force you to log into BattleNet even for single player (of course that bit will get hacked quickly). Its main allure is the multiplayer...

    Still skeptical, but now a Little Hopeful

    Haha, yeah right. They could not release another detail until launch day and you'd still be there frothing at the mouth.

    Single unit (per class) rule in naval warfare and tactics

    I'm guessing there will be some ZOC stuff going on. But even without it the units will likely be considered non-military when they are in transport, which means that a destroyer could sit atop one transport to escort it. This would encourage a player to cultivate a large navy if they don't want...

    Will it be steam based?

    Wow... go look up the word "latency", then look up "bandwidth". Then maybe you can come back and explain how wrong your reasoning is.

    Be careful! Found these on the web, but...

    C'mon man, if there were a demo it would be official and on their webpage. It wouldn't look shady as hell like this. So yeah, don't download it.

    I am concerned because feature X will be different from in Civ IV

    Indeed, feature X will ensure that I keep playing cIV forever. Feature Y that they're adding to ciV is completely unrealistic and I will surely be unable to suspend any disbelief, making it impossible to play.

    End of Escorts and Transports?

    In another thread someone made the suggestion that if you move a unit to a city with a harbor, the unit could then be turned into a transport temporarily. I personally like the idea since it will take a lot less work to organize oversea expeditions. I'm not sure what would happen if you landed...

    One Unit Per Tile and Foriegn Units

    I feel like that's a premise with no conclusion. Yeah you could send all your units out to the ocean, but they would become non-combat units. There would also be a tech and building requirement before you could do that. It removes busy-work IMO.
