How does Impulse Function...?

Compared to STEAM?

from Stardock Forums

Hi guys, I'm just tryingto figure a few things out about Impulse and how it's different than STEAM.

 

1. Are you able to register retail keys through Impulse (Like how you're able to with a few games on Steam?)

2. If yes to question 1, is there a list of games that you can register retail s/n's around somewhere?

3. Are there weekly special deals, or anything like that?

3. Does Impulse change the "stock" directory of games, like how STEAM does?

4. Does Impulse interfere with User Mods and/or Modding Games in general?

5. How's bug support?
