I take offense by the statement that everybody loves StarDock as I do not have a single game of theirs.
I demand an apology, a foot massage and the replacement of seven "StarDock"s by "Valve" in the offending piece of quote...

On the actual issue, I think mentioning the bad copy protection used in the game in a thread about the game is pretty fine but when the whole thread fills up with "I won't StarDock it because of the Valve used!!!1111 " and then a lengthy repost of the same old "The StarDocks will Valve it anyway because this Valve never works, give them 3 StarDocks and it's Valve by the StarDocks and this is screwing with their StarDock Valve anyway and I'm so angry etc. blaValve" then you end up with the same posts in every second thread which makes me think that one topic to cover all sorts of copy protection makes more sense while the game threads can mention it once or twice for those who may not know the game is protected by copy protection x or y and do not want to read the endless ramblings in the copy protection thread. That way everybody gets the vital info and them freedom-loving capitalists can get their thread to be annoyed about copy protections.
