This may be a dumb question, but I have always bought all my Matrix games from Matrix directly. Am I going to have to use Steam or depend on Steam for updates? What is the benefit to anyone of using Steam? Will I at some point HAVE to get ...

in order to gain access to it developers will need to go through the windows marketplace, you can still develop windows software but no game bought from steam, origin, uplay, impulse, GOG, or even wall-mart will ever contain touchpad support ...

The only thing I can add to this discussion is this: If the game had been offered on Steam and not here at Matrix, I wouldn't be playing it.<br/>
<br/>
My point being...there is always some group of potential customers you will miss despite ...

GOG would be worth looking at. That is something Matrix should look at i am not sure what the commission is but it would have to be less than Steam.

I don't get this anti steam stuff. <br/>
<br/>
Matrix would for SURE make positive cashflow if this game was on steam. The market for GOOD 4x games is too small not to make any money. <br/>
<br/>
Plus, steam is good about having ...

My philosophy is this. If the game is on steam or if it contains any DRM which requires activation i will not buy it i don't care how good the game is.

That's a strange reason to buy a game. <E>:)</E><br/>

I think asking why a game isn't ...

<t> I really get annoyed when people come on here and demand to have Steam. The main reason i purchased the game was because i didn't like Steam and DW didn't have any restrictive DRM. When you come on here please stop asking for Steam you know it isn't available and it wont be coming anytime soon ...

<t> I don't know how much i have spent. All i am concern about is that i support the small gave dev and Publisher. After all these guys are the ones who don't impose restrictions on the user and they also give you support and are keeping the pc alive.<br/>

When i am on other forums and there ...

<r> There is a debate going on at the CAP LAB forum regarding DRM. And some people don't want it and number of posters have mention about Matrix games. CAP Lab is a standalone expansion to Capitalism 2 and they are still deciding what sort of DRM will be put in.<br/>

And as long as I can still get the game here from the Matrix site with no strings attached, I'd have no issue with it. It's the whole EA "Origin and Origin only" stuff that has really turned me off to that type of marketing. I don't want to ...

<t> The other reason why it isn't on Steam is because they take a large percentage of the sale from the developer.<br/>
<br/>
I never want to see Matrix games on Steam i think it is unnecessary because Matrix games sell them selves. And also most people like myself support small developers like ...

You will have to excuse me it has been a long time since i have played.

I started a new game and i cant find any Colony ships in the Build menu.
