I have in fact foregone some games because of a website problem.  The 
fact that some required I navigate through a site full of java script 
(that's script, not java) to play the game meant that I could not even 
do so (and so several games I probly would have bought were dropped), 
since I refuse to turn on script for those losers (there is nothing that 
script can do that can't be better done otherwise, and script IS a 
hacking danger - nevermind the flames, I've heard it all before).

I played galsiv 1, and I recall problems with stardock, and now that 
this reminder has come up I will make it a point to avoid galsiv 2 
unless they clearly and publicly separate themselves from all that sort 
of crap.  I want games, not a takeover of my life or my computer.  I pay 
for games (I just paid full price of Civ4), I do not pay for trouble.

Of course, maybe there are enough suckers out there?
