Hey Ron. Smile
Do you think there may be a way to mass communicate with Empire to enable them to see the viability of demand for Stars?

Actually, there are good reasons for them not to re-release Stars. I seem to remember Jeff McBride telling me that the rights to Stars! revert back to him (and Jeff Johnson) x amount of time after Empire stops selling it.

Jeff has told me that he'd like to release a version that doesn't require serial numbers at all, but couldn't do that as Empire was still selling it at the time. I'd like it if he'd implement a better encryption method for .m and .x files, perhaps with an option to not encrypt them at all.

Have you considered a deadline for the re-release date of the game, seeing as the first half of '06 has come and gone, following which you might return to the practice of providing serial numbers in leu of a donation?

No, I havn't thought of that, but will give it some thought.

Stars! is a great game and it would be a shame for sincerely interested gamers to miss out on playing. Smile
Thanks, BMA.

I totally agree with you!
