Hilarious and vile, at the same time; those of us who are not too interested in stealing our games are being left out in the cold if we don't want a system full of mandatory malware... This and the endless (and very costly) losing battle against constant upgrades has almost entirely turned me off from PC gaming, at least with regards to commercial releases.

I think SF is a European company, but thats besides the point...
Personally I dont mind devs trying to protect thier software. But SF takes it too far. Yes, I've had no probs so far, but I'm still suspicious...
Steam, IMO, is much better in that at least it doesnt install drivers on your comp.

Yeah, but the problem with Steam is that EVERY TIME you want to play their game you have to connect to steam and download content. That mean if your internet is down/fussy no project Gordon for you.
I used Steam for about a week before uninstalling it and all related software.

Read a review of this game. They compare it to SC2 quite abit. I think I will buy it.

There's already a pretty long thread about this in the Starbase Café.

SR2 was cracked long ago. Just install the crack from GCworld without installing starforce.
All this flapping about and your missing out.

Sadly the RTS stuff I'm seeing in screenshots and the trailers is *really* turning me off to this, which is a shame since the rest looks so interesting. Has anyone played this and found that the RTS portion of the game can be minimized?

It's completely optional. You don't have to accept those missions if you don't want to.

Best PC game I own. The universe is fully dynamic and changes with or without player interactions. It's this that makes SR2 so enjoyable. You see so much everytime you play. So many little touches that you could never get bored. I used to say if I could only have 1 game it would be Civ2 but I would now choose Sr2 over that game now.

On the brightside, the D2D version of SR2 is void of Starforce.
