DRM like this is despicable. 

Trying to justify it is worse.

[:-]

Now now, no need to be so melodramatic. [;)]

You no likee their DRM? Don't buy the game.

Since I won't be moving the game around to multiple computers, it's virtually a non-issue for me.

Well I hope you don't have a hard drive failure like I had a few months ago...you might realise what a pita 1 activation actually is. These things tend to strike when it's least convenient...Friday night [:'(]

[SlickWilhelm]

Heck, JD, if my HD crashes on my gaming rig, I'm going to have bigger problems than not being able to play Gettysburg for awhile! [;)]

And you can bet I've got the Gettysburg activation key and installable file on my thumb drive.

Then again, I look at hardware failures as the perfect opportunity in which to upgrade! [:D]

[JudgeDredd]

Well, to be fair, it's not like we all don't have enough game alternatives, is it? [;)]

What is this? Take Command: Gettysburg?[:D] Seriously the game looks like take command.

Basically it is Take Command. Stolen by one of the partners from the other and this will all probably eventually end up in court some day. I wouldn’t hold out much hope your activations will be worth a dime if it goes to court.

Jim,

Writing stuff like this is just going to get the thread closed. [:-]

Locking this up now as I can see we're about to get into the background of this that has caused flame wars elsewhere. Let's just leave it at the notification that the game is available and that it has a somewhat complex and troubled history. Further discussion can go over there.

i just purchased SOW Gettysburg and 3 expansions i suppose they are, chansellorsville, pipe creek, and antiendam (spelling sorry).. i bought the Download versions.. ok i have some issues i would love some help with. i jujst bought a new Desktop PC and it came with Windows 8. i installed SOW gettysburg first and tried it out and it was working perfectly, not even a slight possible issue.

now i know this was my fault but there should be a way to fix it I hope without having to purchase everything again.

i started downloading the other three and didnt realize that the games naturally were being installed to my download folder but as the SAME file.. for instance, SOW gettysburg DL'd to My GAMES/downloads/sow-gettysburg and the then asked for a desktop shorcut and SOW-Gettysburg was the name of the shortcut. all the other games DL'd under the same file name and when i ran SOW gettysburg i could no longer read the words.. pictures loked fine and the game didnt look harmed but i couldnt read any words at all. they looked like they blurred out..

i uninstalled everything that had to do with SOW from my computer after hours of troubleshooting to my best ability which drove me crazy. i empty the Recycle bin and cleaned my hands of all the mess i made..

i waited a day (today) top reinstall and properly file the DL's... i i just DL'd gettysburg and Chancellorsvile and they both r doin gthe same thing as before (words look like they were blurred out) and i installed them correctly..

what did i do?

and most impotantly, how can i fix it?

PLease help
