I was planning on registering on this forum for entirely different reasons sometime in the near future but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to comment on this thread.
I heard it mentioned before, and I'll just echo what others have said: If I only had a dollar for everytime I've heard somebody threaten a lawsuit...
The most notable I can recall is World War II Online, a game that had some REAL problems. A thread from a supposed lawyer was calling for a class-action lawsuit. Did it happen? Of course not.
The original poster of this thread really wants to play Civilization IV, and really, who could blame him? He bought the game expecting to spend hours lost in the beautiful and creative world that Sid Meier dreamt up. And it is for that reason that this thread came about. Because he cannot play the game or has had substantial troubles in trying to do so. Nothing more, nothing less.
Is it jealously? I'm not one to say, because I don't know. I know I'd probably be jealous if I wasn't able to get the game to work, and I would be upset, but to get to my point: this thread is just a little bit childish. You're angry, and that's completely understable. So are many, many other people. But you're continued justification of a class action lawsuit is not the way to go about expressing your anger and disappointment.
I have been lucky enough to be a Windows 2000 user, ATI Radeon using player of this game, a game that has gone off without a hitch. And I am thrilled by this game. It has easily, in my opinion, fulfilled a lot of what was missing from the previous Civilization games, and I've played them all.
Anyways, you have a right to be angry and a right to be disappointed. Just realize that this happens with every game under the sun, bugs are inevitable, and life goes on. It will be fixed eventually, and others that share your disdain will eventually be appeased. I'm sorry the game isn't working for you, but please, drop the class action lawsuit crusade.
