Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

with a Register Serial button at bottom, now I've only bought the single Distant Worlds: Universe listed as on 7th July (coloured green)and the serial for that date is the one I actually registered.

I thought the price a little steep for me as I generally buy games in sales and DRM free from GOG, Moddable games are an exception I can justify as worth more money.
But now seeing just how many Free games I got for my coin it is great value.

Something is definately wrong with the system you are using.
Their reply
Hi Uhuru,

I'm sorry for the issues you are experiencing and with the delay in our reply. It looks that some special characters were causing some issues. We have resolved most of these but there are a few outstanding. You are now able to log into the Slitherine site and I have registered your key to the Slitherine website, so please now log in to the Slitherine site and redeem your Steam key.

Unfortunately we are still working on resolving the issue with the other websites and the Slitherine forum, so I am passing your query (and the Matrix Ticket number for their reference) to the web admins. Once they have resolved the remaining issues, they will let you know.

Kind Regards,

Paulo Costa
The Slitherine Group

End result was it's taken until now to resolve and the spoilsports wouldn't let me sell all the extra games I was given, but seriously they all appeared to be genuine keys. I've put the X's there for the obvious reason. Another person may have tried to use them.
I gave Support the real keys values I recieved and have kept a copy for record purposes, they believe the issue is fixed and no other user got a similar key dump.

I knew from past experience what the issue was likely to be and the forums logins now reject non alphanumeric characters.
I also got a £20 code redeemable on any of their games at any time.
Now to modding page for some posts on modding I've been wanting to make.

I'm really impressed with his ability to acquire DW in 1969. Now that is truly impressive. [:'(]
