Reply to invalid serial number in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Access to the beta has been suspended as we get ready for retail release next week. We're getting the Day 0 bits in place so when the time comes on the 24th, we flip a switch and everyone gets the full game. Your serials will be reactivated then :)

Reply to Amazing Steam Sales Going on in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Guest83, Here's a simplified example to illustrate why Impulse, GamersGate and others are taking a stand against Steamworks games. Imagine you go to Mom & Pop Electronics Store and buy WidgetX.

On top of that, every time you use WidgetX, Mega

Reply to E3, was Stardock there? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

With the impending release of Elemental (August) and all the work that needs to go into getting that game finished and out to retail (not to mention all of the Impulse::Reactor tech we're building for it), we skipped E3 this year.

Once that's done, the game will go on "live pre-order" which will let paypal users order the game and get immediate access to the beta. We usually leave our games in this "live pre-order" state for a week or two.

Reply to iPad definitely a threat to Windows in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I find it interesting how people will reach as far as they do to rationalize and defend their platform when it's threatened by something new. "Just use msconfig!" "Who turns their PC off anyway?" "Linux will rule the market!" These and their related arguments are, in my opinion, completely missing the original points Brad makes in his article. All of them basically talk about working to alter user behavior, or rely on some significant technical exper

Reply to Question about the content of the cancelled micro-expansion. in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rise of the Space Ponies After aeons of war, famine, death and destruction, the time has come to once and for all put a stop to the seemingly endless cycle of violence. For ages uncounted, forces have worked in the shadows to attain this goal. But for all of their machinations, they met with failure again and again. The time has come for action! The time has come to make the world a more peaceful place. A happier place. <p
