Stardock is the publisher, and they're very vocally against things like install limits. There's not so much as a CD check on Sins.

Copy protection is provided by the somewhat unusual system of providing huge patches and updates, but requiring players to get them via Impulse, Stardock's online download service. It's somewhat like Steam, except that you only need to run Impulse when you want to check for updates. You do not need to load it or connect to the internet otherwise. You don't need to validate your install before you can play your game; you can play the unpatched game as much as you like.

It was a good game but missing something IMO. I'd try the demo before you buy.
