The future of Stardock games and Impulse

from Stardock Forums

Hi guys, I already submitted this question to Stardock support but it seems to be taking a week for them to answer... I was wondering what will happen distribution wise to Stardock games. Software seems to already have migrated off the Impulse platform but the games are still dependent on it. Was planning on dropping Impulse altogether if Stardock will use their small platform for their games as well.

Any thoughts?

They've already answered it a few times.  For the foreseeable future the games will stay on Impulse.

That's a shame really...

Then for the foreseeable future, I will not be purchasing Stardock titles.

Really, now that they don't own Impulse, they should be releasing across the different storefronts; impulse, D2D, steam, etc.

Or you know, themselves, like they do for their business customers. 

 

I haven't played a Stardock game since they sold Impulse to Gamestop, which is... really a shame.

Stardock is developing it's own store/distribution for our own products.

Anyone else getting a 404 on Impulsedriven.com right now?

It's up as of 5:13 pm eastern time.

I assume you'll still distribute to Impulse?  I mean no offense of course, but I don't want a self-serving purchasing account for smaller devs/distributors.  (Which is why renewing my Object Desktop subscription isn't even a possibility now, but I wasn't sure how much I wanted it anyway.)
