To be fair, users also complained back then. It was a bad and anticonsumer move to sell the store along with users data. And an hypocrisy after all the statements that were done by the company prior to that move. It hasn't been the same to the public eye since then as most of its credibility has been lost. I don't think there's an expiration date for complaining. To be fair, Stardock often likes to remember its past accomplishment back since OS2, so I don't think that rememberin
Did you got a reply in the end? Anyway, from the guys that wrote the gamers bills of right and that pushed for drm-free, uninque ownership and that wanted to be relevant in the gaming industries, they are one of the few that managed to actually lose their customers hard earned games (after selling them to another company). That's something.
[quote who="Illauna" reply="48" id="3405632"] I know I'm quoting my own post but. I received a reply from DanQ of Polycast that the episode I'm refering to is 176. Brad (Stardock CEO if you don't know, Frogboy) shines some light on the benefits that a 64 bit processor brings. I'm glad that companies are moving past DirectX 9 and 32-bit processors. I know the feeling of being forced to upgrade an outdated machine. My last rig budget store bought budget pc that I purchased

[quote who="Gargabee" reply="1" id="3405237"] Sorry for the trouble. For non-Steam games, you can download them here: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products Beyond that, we can help you out with the registrations if you send us an email at [email protected][/quote] As I said, the games are there but scattered on different download methods even between base game and addon. Can you fix that if I write on the support address?

Years ago, after the "we are selling our customers to others without telling them" thing about Impulse, you said that all stardock game would be eventually be available to download to the new Stardock Center, just the time to set them. A bit sad about the other games purchased before on sdc and then impulse, but still got hope for the stardock game to be available without pain on your site. To this date however, many of them are not available and some are splitted on different download servic
You should clearly advertise that the game will require steam otherwise you are selling people a thing and then do another, again. People who preorder should know clearly.

While impulse was unsuccessful, Impulse Reactor was still growing and had the potential to become someday a viable option. Wasn't there a way to sell only Impulse and keep Reactor, they were two different piece of software anyway? Impulse was most profitable part of Stardock. Brad wanted to focus on game devel
If I understand it right, you could do without Steam, but you need Steamworks for the feature you want implemented for multiplayer. But you cannot have Steamworks without Steam so in fact your are sticking with Steam and the game will require it for anything. In opposite to what Impulse Reactor was build for, working without being chained to a dd client. One question: was it mandatory to sell Impulse Reactor with Impulse?

Actually I don't mind third party games but I expect all Stardock games to be available through SDC. At this time only part of them are. I can download Demigod, but then I need Impulse to download the dlc. I see elemental and gal civ 1 but I can't download GalCiv2 (which I could with the old SDC) and Sins of a Solar Empire also ask me to use Impulse. I think that at least all the games that could be downloaded with the old SDC should be available with the new one and c
[quote who="Jafo" reply="100" id="3026023"]Picciu ... I think that one user's impression of Impulse doesn't qualify the statement that "Impulse was a failure". Don't confuse your personal experience as the determinator of a program's worth.

I'm really interested about that. Impulse was a failure. It still is. It was abadoned a lot earlier before it was sold, although the start was very promising.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="3025207"]Stardock titles are coming to Steam. However, your serial numbers are registered with wherever you bought them. You can't redirect them.

I thought Sins was a Stardock game and that shouldn't be a problem. Can you please explain why it is not possibile?
It's the game's problem. However for me SC2 was a disappoinment for the game itself, expecially the half backed, plain and uninspired single player.
