Okay, overall things are going pretty well. But I would like to propose an secondary path for people who have purchased the game directly but want to hear your views on:

Right now, you purchase the game, you get a serial number and a link to Stardock Central. You install SDCEntral, create an account and then enter in your serial number and then donwload the game.

It works pretty ewll overall but, between the occasionall technical glitch and users, in their excitement, bypassing a step it's creating a bit of a support hassle.

So here's an alternative path:

You order the game, it creates a link to download the retail level of the game. It would be one big old EXE though, few hundred megs. But this way, once you had the thing downlodaed to your drive, you'd have it.

Then at that point you could download SDCEntral and get the bonuspak at your leisure. But this way the download having to go through SDCEntral is much smaller and you have at least the 1.0 game and no matter what hapens, you wuldn't have to go through redownloading the entire thing through SDCentral, you could always just reinstall from that big file.

Let me know what you think. We can implement this quickly.
