    I've been meaning to buy something from them for years, I really ought to now. So Sins of a solar empire or galactic civilizations ?
    Do you prefer real-time strategy or turn-based? Both are good, but I think I prefer GalCiv2 more.

    Another cool-looking game that Stardock will be publishing is Demigod.

    Ten points, make it part of the rating of every game site that agrees with this idea.

    It scored Nine out of Ten on the Gamers Rights Rating!

    I'm just waiting for Penny Arcade to do something like this.

    Good ideas, but it sadly wont take off. Publishers desire money more than rights of gamers.

    Coal mine owners did too. But labour rights were eventually achieved.

    We need a gamer's union
    I wouldn't. But you can bet many people will. That's kinda like putting your wares on a busy street with a little tin box that says "$9.99 per copy, pay here please".
    Oh yeah, I know there are people who would rought the system, which is why we are in the situation we are in now. I just don't know how to fix it.
    Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy

    Their model has been pretty successful. Both GalCiv1 & 2 sold very well and Sins of a Solar Empire was a top 10 seller for quite a long time iirc.

    I'm pretty sure the two are worlds different. People died working in the coal mines, but you don't see people dying working in GameStops.

    Nice list btw, it'd be nice to see every company adopt similar ideas.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    A few Koreans would like to beg to differ... but they died for the ultimate sacrifice... that of any hope of being considered cool by playing Starcraft until their internal organs failed and they died at the desk.
