Ultimate for keeping maliciousness away from computers.... I suggest that Andrew alternately reply-post the URLs of the respective anti-GOG Eador Steam-comment page(s). There were no Russian or English anti-GOG comments in the first 6 pages (Feb-March 2013) postings present on the " Eador: Masters..... " Steam comment page as viewed here in the US. Maybe Steam filters some of the Russian comments before we see them in the US? Starforce seemed to be the hot issue with the recent Russian comments. Saw only two GOG-relevant Russian comments for Feb-March: One was that GOG was going to carry the game and thus Starforce was not likely to be an issue with the GOG release. The second relevant Russian posting mentioned that the game was going to be carried on GOG and wished that it would be also carried on Steam. Just a wish. No complaint.
