If you get the X games, get them from steam... otherwise it will infect you with the StarForce malware / rootkit DRM.
X3 Reunion is now malware/DRM/Starfarce free with the 2.0.02 patch.
With the release of 2.0.x, X³ no longer requires the physical media nor Starforce in order to run. If you wish to install X³ without installing Starforce, the procedure is as follows: Install X³ 1.0 from the CDs/DvD. Do not run the game! Apply the 1.0 -> 2.0.02 patch. Run the game. This will prevent Starforce from installing unnecessarily, as it does not install until you run the game for the first time.
It's things like this that we should support, I'm ready to through money at any company who does this.
X3 is a really fun game to play but if you have the goal of "RULING THE UNIVERSE" it will take a cpl years off your life. By ruling the universe I mean owning and defending every sector.
I did put it aside for a bit but with my new system and with the malware removal I may give it another go.
