[quote who="Alstein" reply="296" id="2929638"]Was that confirmed? If so, I'd expect to see the next Stardock game on all DD platforms, but requiring Reactor. That's fine by me if that happens. I'd just get Gamersgate version and save a couple of bucks. [/quote] I saw it in some interview with Brad - I will try to find link
[quote who="Alstein" reply="294" id="2929603"]There might have been a contractual obligation to not use Steam, or Stardock may have an agreement with Gamestop where they get a very good deal on Impulse (like maybe Gamestop only gets 10% instead of 30% for example). This is conjecture, but a very reassnable assumption, though one Stardock would not and likely could not confirm. There may be a business reason for them not to use Steam.
I saw similar problems when Windows installler became corrupted - I have everything backed up, so I just formated C: and did clean OS install.
I just checked some publicly available data and based on Steam IDs (VAC ban website) and some info from Valve (30M active accounts in October 2010), Steam already has over 40 000 000 accounts - almost 35 000 000 accounts are active (available data cannot provide result which is much more accurate than +-1 000 000). If this data is correct, Steam will reach 40M active accounts sometime late this year or in early 2012.

Hi, I dont see Games subforum in forum menu anymore? is it only local problem or is it forum change/problem? thx
Is it only here or did entire Games subforum (incl. this thread) disappeared from forum menu????
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="17" id="2917735"]I don't think you can say that this is an improvement until it actually becomes one. Just because GS has the resources doesn't necessarily mean they will use them to make PC gaming better. At best, I expect it to stay about the same [/quote] true - good example of that is GFWL.
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="181" id="2917703"]I like Impulse, because unlike Steam and Gamersgate, they don't use the stupid formula 1Euro = 1USD. I hope Gamestop will let us play our games we bought.[/quote] 1Euro = 1USD is not true for majority of games + prices are set by publishers for example: Portal2 45$ in US 34€ in Czech Republic (EU) Also remember that when we were paying $ prices, price

[quote who="G_Bison" reply="3" id="2917278"]Quoting Rebell44, reply 2If you want to play without access to internet just start Steam - it will show error (unable to connect) and gives you option to run Steam in Offline mode - in order to use Offline Mode you have to have your Steam login saved. And that's why I will cry if Impulse will change....[/quote] ? why?
Steam have to be running to play Steam games, but you dont have to be connected to internet. If you want to play without access to internet just start Steam - it will show error (unable to connect) and gives you option to run Steam in Offline mode - in order to use Offline Mode you have to have your Steam login saved.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="84" id="2916020"]Or, it's possible Brad isn't familiar with Gamestop's reputation, and believed Gamestop at face value, not knowing the outrage it would cause. [/quote] That is (IMO) pretty unlikelly
1. Now, when Impulse is being bought by GameFuck eh... Gamestop, will Stardock sell its games on Steam? 2. Looks like non-gog version of Witcher 2 will use Steamworks http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showpost.php?p=13026222&postcount=501
[quote who="firebrick" reply="26" id="2913732"]I have heard (but not tested) that Windows 7 does not need it. I have win 7 ult. It defrags automatically per my schedule setting. ( when I'm sleeping) I check every so often, always at 0% fragged. [/quote] Same here.
[quote who="FadedC" reply="342" id="2912141"]It kind of sounded like a co-op board to me too, at least in theory. In reality though I'm not sure how different it would be from a regular corporation. It would have shares owned by the public and they would determine the staff that leads it. Isn't that how every corporation works?[/quote] I agree that result would be very similar to normal IPO.
