The kids at Stardock Systems, creators of the Galactic Civ series, posted a refreshing editorial of sorts on their site yesterday. Citing a sensationalizing Digg headline ("Company WANTS its game pirated!") the Stardock folk talk about thei particular anti-piracy solution: good games with good service. That's nuts!

Now, Stardock do have their own scheme for thwarting pirate scum, but lets users install the game on multiple machines as long as only one of those installs is being played at one time.

They also call out copy protection service provider StarForce, who posted links to active GCII torrents as evidence that DRM schemes are working.
