Hello to Brad and all the other designers. Just wanted to say how amazed I am at the speed and thoroughness with which you folks both respond to player inquiries and update the game. There have been, what, _four_ updates made available over the past ten days or so? Considering as how game design isn't even your primary day job, the effort you folks put into supporting Galactic Civilization is nothing short of remarkable. I hope you'll keep visiting the forum and making comments as your time allows.
Sincerely,
Chris Vincenti
P.S. This is in direct response to the "Brad- Come Clean" thread and the postings therein.

I agree... it's a great effort by Brad and all the other Stardock people. Great support here, and on IRC.
And an awesome game, which with this kind of support will get even better!
Thanks to Brad and company for stealing so many hours from my life with this fantastic 'Galactic Civilizations'!

Absolutely. I guarantee there will be some MOO defenders that are so disgruntled, they will feel the need to blather on cluelessly. Just don't feed the flames.. laugh 'em off the board.

Thanks. And please, no nasty comments about MOO3 fans. I am one of many who greatly enjoys both games. (I also believe Lite beer tastes great AND is less filling.)

Actually, that thread was tittle "Brad - please Come clean"
Alright, I admit it was an ill chosen title - mia culpa, however my intent wasn't to accuse, but to obtain definate answers, in part to put a stop to all the accusations of AI cheating.
BTW I don't own MOO3, and am enjoying GalCiv quite a bit.

Ditto what everyone else has said. The pre- and post-game information and support from Stardock has been nothing less than fantastic. Thanks for the hard work.

"Aw, crap. You just HAD to use "ditto" while I was writing my post, didn't you?"
I'm psychic and/or psychotic.

I hate to be unoriginal, but... I have to agree with the rest of this thread. Wonderful game, and I'm amazed at the quality and quantity of the support. You guys at Stardock already have my money, and I'm recommending GalCiv to every lover of strategy games I know.

I agree with all the praise as well and I urge you not to take things too personally, Brad. I think most of us understand that you don't owe us your presence here by any means. I'm incredibly impressed at how much you post here and how many questions you answer. And I'm even more impressed at the sheer number of updates you've already released to this great game. You guys weren't kidding when you said we'd get a *full* year of free updates to the game.

The only way it could have been better is if it was hand delivered to my door - and came with someone (preferably feminine and scantily dressed) to do the housework I'm let slide while I play the game.
Awesome job. Awesome support.

Howdy,
If y'all don't mind, I'm coming out of the darkness of lurkdom to add to this. Frankly, the attention by Mr. Wardell to this board alone has convinced me to buy the game, though after experience with a recent 4x fiasco I'd sworn I wouldn't buy any game out less than 3 months. And I plan to download it, because I want to support this company directly, not via middlemen.
I've followed the progress here closely for about 2 months now, and have continued to be impressed by the grasp of customer relations and management demonstrated by Stardock, as well as the generally mature manner in which posters here express themselves; methinks the two are not inseperable.
Well done, SD, and very refreshing to witness.
V
