Default Re: New to Dom 3

I have to say, I loathe their download "system".

Originally, yes, it was great--you could download the game directly off of their site, with the CD key. No muss, no fuss. Worthy of duplication, I totally agree.

Now, though, Stardock has switched to an incredibly bad 3rd party that forces you to download what I can only assume is an "adware made easy" program from a site absolutely bloated with web advertizements, which didn't even work, and which not only wasted my time, but forced me to run extensive scans.

I could live with an advert page, but not with this kind of strongarm tactic in partnership with a 3rd party I don't even know.

I emailed Stardock directly, hoping that if I provided them my CD key, they could just email me the game, but they were incredibly unhelpful.

It's just another good start that they've made, and then outright ruined, without any consideration for their fanbase, even a proven customer.
