Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Sets Sales Record

[Jul 25, 2012, 4:42 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Stardock announces that Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is smashing all the company's previous sales records. They offer some details on this, including some praise for the impact of sales on Steam, clearly putting the rivalry over once having owned the competing Impulse service in the rearview:

The company has sold more than 100,000 copies digitally to date of Rebellion
The company’s internal projections factored in a large “cannibalization” percentage of its own direct sales through its web site and sales from its former digital distribution platform Impulse (now owned and operated by GameStop.)
- Sale stats showed that Steam sales did NOT cannibalize those sales
- Steam sales instead replaced what Stardock has usually seen via sell-in at retail

And yes Hardware does and always has made the difference. If you haven’t figured that out then you are dumb. OK, so Iron Lore? Really? Iron Lore? How about you go back to playing Titan Quest and come back when you have a clue about what game you are talking about. It didn't click in your head that he meant Ironclad? I'm starting to think you work for them, you post like you need to defend their coding.
