I recently read an article here by one of the Stardock dev's about their stance on piracy.  I liked this stance so much, that I decided to check out some of their games and apps, with the thought that this is the kind of game company I would like to support with my consumer dollars.  Gal Civ 2 Gold Edition, ObjectDock, and WindowBlinds (trial), are now on my PC.  Sins of a Solar Empire is definitely on my list, right after my new PC upgrades come in.  I a...

Just in case anyone isn't familiar with Eve.  Its a ruthless sandbox space MMO, filled with piracy, player politics on a level you may not believe, espionage, treachery, deceit, profiteering, and any other despicable act a human being is capable of in a freef...
