[quote who="Unknown924" reply="22" id="2118890"] I don't know about you, but I would like to think that the CEO of the company would know about any problems with his servers.[/quote] Indeed, except he made it pretty clear that he couldn't be bothered actually checking. Regardless, he's since clarified any confusion in his follow up post.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="2118483"]What's the deal with strawman arguments tonight. There was nothing stopping him from playing the game.

So I got home from work last night, looking forward to grabbing a quick game of Entrenchment with a friend. I don't get the chance very often and I was looking forward to blowing off some steam. Unfortunately, he was still on v1.01 while I've patched up to v1.02 so we needed to get him patched up. Unfortunately, no dice as Stardock's servers were offline all night. No problem, I've got an archived copy of v1.01 on my hard drive, I'll just uninsta
