Stardock Titles on Steam

[Nov 16, 2011, 10:50 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Stardock announces their titles are now available on Steam, as their aversion to using Valve's online service ended right around the time they sold their competing Impulse service to GameStop. "With the sale of our former PC digital download technology to GameStop earlier this year, we no longer have any conflicts of interest in offering our titles to other digital distribution channels," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. "We are starting with Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity with other titles being made available over the coming weeks." Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity is on sale on Steam for a 25% discount, and for old-time's sake, the space strategy game is also being offered for the same discounted price on Impulse.

Oh please say yes.....(i only ever bought demigod ...wish i didnt.....galciv2 + exp's....and soase + exp's) The Devs on the forums said no, but I pointed out that the Devs for SPaZ did it, so I hope they consider it. Thats not transferring from one digital service to another though. That was activating a key that was previously only available directly from the dev, into steam. Stardock COULD do that, but they'd likely take a hit doing so. Steam would surely charge them a fee for every cd key activated. Remember, with them being in financial difficulties, they are not likely to do something like that. I'm ok with re-buying all stardock stuff on steam so I can finally get rid of impulse, as long as its a good deal and its in a big pack. Like say $30-$40 for all previous stardock titles. I doubt they can go to all impulse titles (since there were many other publishers and devs involved), but they can probably do just the ones they've personally had a hand in developing. So far though, they've only offered Sins:Trinity, which makes the announcement of "titleS" a lie.
