[quote who="Jon Shafer" reply="16" id="2860255"] Greetings all! Proud to be joining the Stardock team, and expect to work on a lot of great projects here in the future. There's been some assumptions here about what my joining Stardock will mean for the games the studio will be putting out from now on. Fear not all - they'll be clearly recognizable as Stardock games. One thing that I will say though, is that Stardock's games are awfully complex, and probably need to be streamli

Reply to Supreme Commander1 vs 2? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

I had SupCom2 uninstalled for the last couple months. I just never played it. The other day I found out about the DLC, and it was on sale for $2.50 so I decided to go for it. The DLC and the last couple patchs since I last played it help the game a lot, although the first is still without a doubt a better game. Personally I don't mind the new art style all that much. No, it's not as impressive as the first, but if it allows me to huge battles on giant maps without too much of a hit on

Maybe they don't want to piss off Dell, HP, Asus, etc, or maybe they're afraid of more anti-trust lawsuits or something, I don't know, but it seems like it would be natural for them. They've already tried phones, MP3 players, and game consoles, which, to me anyway, seem more out of their comfort zone. They have

Reply to The Great Hurricane/Blizzard of 2010 in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Just out of curiosity, how much snow did you end up getting? From your pics it looks like 10-12 inches average maybe? I'm from Colorado where we're pretty used to lots of snow, although this winter we've had surprisingly little. It wasn't until December 30th that we got any significant amount. 3-4 inches, which really isn't that much but up until then we've maybe had 2 inches total. It was the first year in at least 10+ where we didn't get snow on Holloween. A couple years ago we got 3 f

[quote who="Deliz Seemack" reply="28" id="2856946"]Here is a little follow up on this post. I still believe that Stardock should start investing time and effort to support Mac and Linux. In an interesting blog post Jacob Barkdull shows that Linux users were willing to pay up to 107% more on average than Windows users for the pay-whatever-you-want Humble Bundle #2. I must say that I was part of them. [/quote] But are there enough Linux users willing to

It's leftover from pre-beta Diplomacy. If you look, you should find similar entries for a Vasari and a TEC destoyer.
