I preordered the digital download version of GC 2. and installed the game per Stardock. I know there is the possibility to make an archive for backup purposes. However I'd like to backup the final version on a CD later. As far as I understand it, the archive needs stardock to reinstall the game. So any future installtion would depens on the stardock service still available. Is there any way to get a backup copy on CD and bypass the stardock dependence? I'd like to ensure the reinstallation of the game in case the stardock service may become unavailable for whatever reason in the future.
I use to purchase games by Matrixgames per digital download, too. But Matrix offers a regular setup exe for download so you can make your backup.
Thanks!
