I know the first thing I think of when playing a game with hyperdrives, instantaneous communication, alien species, sentient robots, and rapid colonization of alien worlds is 'Oh man, weapon sounds in space! This game is so fake!'.
[quote who="lecek" reply="96" id="3414584"] I don't recall anywhere saying steam would be required for this game. Did I miss a something somewhere?[/quote] Bottom of the store page: 'All game code will be delivered through Steam when available.'
[quote who="Kobrano" reply="79" id="3414136"]If my 90 year old grandmother wants to play one of my games, she can, and anyone that says otherwise is a fool.[/quote] And using Steam Family Sharing, she can. As long as you aren't playing the same game. Otherwise, if you want two copies, buy two copies. Claiming to have worked in software, you should be smart enough to realize that.
[quote who="Kobrano" reply="70" id="3413784"] I purchased Office2012, and indeed installed it on several computers. It's quite LOGICAL to assume EVERYONE would do this. Nobody is that much of a nerd to buy 5 copies for a home. [/quote] I totally recommend you call Microsoft, give them your name and address and tell them that. It is quite logical that they will gladly just give you another 4 licenses.
I haven't been this excited about a game in a very long time. Good job and congrats on the 20 years and this announcement. I can't even begin to imagine what the next two announcements are going to be if they are suppose to be bigger than this one.
