Stardock community easily has a vibrant and I would say even "better' community than here. A banning is rare there. Brad likes to let players have their say no matter how bad they chop up something as long as it is valid and not just a bold faced lie.

I'll say a few things and this will be my last post in this thread because you seem like someone with an axe to grind , have you been banned yourself? I have a suspicion you have.

I've seen no one here banned that didn't deserve it, this is a family forum at times people say things on the web they would never say to another person in the flesh, atleast not more than once.

Structure is needed to weed out the people that are disrespectful, from what I've seen Erik is more tolerant than I'd like.

Now let's talk about their PRICING routines? hrmmm shall we? They try to sell 10 year old games for retail prices. That puts them a mark down in my book. Niche market or not. It's just not "normal" practice in the software, gaming industry.
[>:]

I only count one game that is what you call retail that's 10 years old Steel Panthers and it's one of the best war games ever if the fan following is any indication of success. However there are numerous free games 10 years old and less available to download, who foots the bill for them? In your Matrix is greedy accusations do you mind mixing in that they give free games away as well?

Bottom line is both offer most of the time good quality service. Nothing is intrusive about how they deliver their games to you or their updates (although I do have a beef with having to put that damn CDKey in everytime there is an update/patch, you don't have to do this with Slitherine games...why with Matrixgames?).


LOL, surf the internet at all? [:D]


You spend more time on here beefing in one post than it takes to copy and paste a key to update a game.

The key is in a file in the game just a copy and paste is all you need to do, couple clicks that is all.

Can we just agree that Stardock, Slitherine & Matrix all support their customers and have vibrant communities and each person has their personal favourite as I don't think anything productive can come from this discussion :)

Comprehend much I said you don't even have to do this with Slitherine games. Once you put it in once everytime the update/patch window popsup it's already input for you.


Now that's that's said: Yes I agree with you Iain time to agree that Stardock is JUST AS GOOD as Slitherine and matrixgames![:)]

I really like both Matrix and Stardock. This dick-waving contest that we've got going on right now seems pretty silly.
