Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Sets Sales Record

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

Throwing around hardware is not up to date as an excuse. That to me sounds like a cop out on your part. And yes Hardware does and always has made the difference. If you haven’t figured that out then you are dumb.

Ignoring the rest of your answer which was predictably asinine , I have to admit defeat here - I constantly mistake Ironclad with Iron Lore.

As far as the other points, like I said, predictable (how in the hell does a sane rational adult insinuate that every single one of the hundreds of complaints about this issue is a result of insufficient hardware???). You speak out your ass while knowing nothing - typical internet blowhard. At least you didn't try to defend your utterly moronic assertion that people who try to play strategy games for more than 10 hours are somehow doing it wrong. That's a classic I won't soon forget.
