Although we're sure plenty of Europeans have already pirated
Sins of a Solar Empire -- and really, we can't blame you -- the game officially launches in the UK
today. The surprise PC hit will cost £30 in the UK and, although the
press release speaks about the "European retail box," we can't seem to currently find a release date or price for the rest of the continent.
Sins of a Solar Empire has no
disc copy-protection, but supports those who purchased a copy with patches, which have greatly improved the game since launch. UK gamers who got the game through nefarious means, please feel free to support this excellent strategy game with a retail purchase. You want a
Sins of a Solar Empire 2, don't you?

This game has been available worldwide for months and months direct from Stardock. $44.95 for the direct download only version, which is around £23, so it's cheaper too. For a couple of dollars more you can even get yourself the boxed copy, if you want.
Forget Sins of a Solar Empire 2, buy it direct from Stardock and support companies that don't burden everyone with onerous DRM schemes. If Sins continues to sell well via Stardock - it has so far - then an expansion or sequel is more likely and it will more likely not have copy protection again so it's a win all round.
I kind of wish I had that 'games for windows' box though...

**Caveat, you must like 4X games with a hint of Masters of Orion, just not as annoying
