Galactic Civilizations 2 is a single player game and works fine with it. Those who pay get improved AI that can counter exploits that become known, new features (a few, most are reserved for expansions naturally), improved interface etc.
But you see these stuff can be found online for free still...same with STEAM that was cracked days after launch...On the other hand try playing on any private WoW server the lag will make you vomit...
