News Comments > Stardock Plans "At Least" Two Game Announcements
39. Re: Stardock Plans Apr 11, 2013, 09:05  Island Dog 
 
Im not aware of the whole Beck drama, presonally I couldnt care less because its about the games and the companies that make them and Stardock is one of the few out there that do good for gamers. I do agree with the above post 100%. I think a lot of developers simply ignore a lot of their fan base and their suggestions because they somehow think that fans shouldnt influence their decisions regarding game design and ideas. What a lot of them forget is that they started out as gamers themselves who wanted to make a game that they themselves wanted to play...

+1. There's so much good stuff currently and coming that this comment "drama" is silly.

Lets focus on the games.

Just an FYI about the discount, it's available to any Sins owner. I don't know how much longer the discount will be around, but it is active now.

Is this playable yet? Desyncs are/were a complete game breaker.

They fixed the desyncs in the final release.

This "SHOULD" not affect users accounts?? I'm not exactly instilled with total confidence with that statement.

Though I imagine that they sold Impulse because of the fiasco that was Elemental.

Elemental has nothing to do with Impulse, Impulse is a separate entity than Stardock games development. Brad explains in more detail about the sale here.

Nothing is happening with your Impulse account. Your games are still there, and will continue to be available.

With Stardock officially out of the distribution business, I wonder if we'll start to see Stardock products on Steam.

Stardock games will still be distributed via Impulse.

Considering there is no single player campaign other than skirmish missions(which are great, admittedly), it seems more like an a tool for forcing people onto Impulse:Reactor than anything else, and I'm not in the mood for a more invasive form of an Impulse store/DRM, to be honest. The lack of running an Impulse client in the background is the ONLY advantage it has over Steam at the moment, being a bit buggier and games usually at full price vs Steam's frequent sales.

Impulse::Reactor is not a store nor really DRM. In simplest terms Reactor is going to allow achievements, free-to-play, and actually quite a bit more.

This expansion will also have a discount to Trinity users, but I don't have any more info right now about that though.

I would recommend reading through some of the developer journals that are posted quite often. They not only detail what FE is about, but also talks about the changes behind it.

News Comments > Impulse Weekly Top 10
6. Re: Impulse Weekly Top 10 May 12, 2010, 10:53  Island Dog 
 
Sins often tops the list because aside from being a popular game, the micro-expansions are just $10 and various editions of Sins are often on sale.

Just because they are on the top of the list doesn't mean 3rd party games aren't selling well, just the opposite in fact.

I'm not sure about your definition of "bloatware", but one of the main points of Reactor is that Impulse does not have to be bundled with a game, so other distributors can carry the title without issue.

The Elemental beta is available for people who pre-order. Impulse::Reactor beta is in beta with key partners at this time.

The current betas are still 2D, I don't believe the 3D will be turned on until after beta 2, but I would have to verify that.

This is the latest roundup that might interest you. http://forums.elementalgame.com/372152

There should be another beta round very soon, although I don't have an exact date at the moment.

I thought late summer/fall was always something that was publicly mentioned. But as another poster said, Elemental will be released when we are happy, and will not be rushed out.

In other words, Elemental is going to be sweeet!

Yes, that is me. I am not a developer though, I am the evangelist for Stardock.

Anyways, I'm not here to argue about this situation, our goal is to make Impulse the best experience for PC gamers and software apps as well.

@Prez - I will inquire more about the archiving issue.

Not sure what you are referring to. You don't need to have Impulse running to play a game.
