IIRC they released *beta* patches for GalCiv on SDC, and then released the 
proper patches on the website some time (one to two weeks) later. If you 
"needed" the latest beta patch then you had to get it through SDC. If you 
could live with waiting till the proper patch was released your could get it 
either via SDC or from the website.
