 Stardock Changed the Rules, 2008-07-17
I have supported Stardock for years now. I purchased Galactic Civilizations (2 copies), Altarian Prophecy, Galactic Civilizations 2 and Sins of the Solar Empire.
However that all ends now, since Stardock has changed course in midstream. They will no longer put out stand alone patches for the game, but now they are forcing the user to download and install Impulse to get any future content.
This method of DRM is not as bad as Spore's or MassEffect, but it still ends in control over the user. In fact Brad (owner of Stardock) basically said he does not care what others think, he is going to do what he wants.
It is now either Brad's way or the highway. My recommendation is take the highway, and stop being forced like cattle into the pens they tell you to go in to.
Take the highway, it is cheaper, less painful and you do not have a person or company dictating to you that you will download their software because they want it on your computer.
DRM is a DRM no matter how much they tell you it is not. They are now setting the rights by which you will be able to download any future content for their games.
