Gundato: Sidenote: If you want to be the emotionless speaker of week-old truths, please actually get your facts straight :p. And generally, you shouldn't then scream that everyone is a liar and that your interpretation is the only one with a grain of truth.
But again, I probably misinterpreted what you said :P
I never interpret anything, I simply exposit. Like the horse led to water, I cannot force anyone to recieve my message. That's human nature, to trun everything into a shit-slinging content. Such is life.
OmegaX: So anjohl states 2 lies about Impulse Now (it being a new service and being basically the same thing as Steam works) and somehow when people correct him they are misinterpreting him?
It must be nice to live in your own little world where everybody is wrong but you except for being delusional and all that...
The idea of targeted ads it is not new and while annoying to some people it gets its job done, to promote the use of the application. Since Stardock doesn't force people to use their client unless when downloading and installing games most people forget it even exists. What's wrong with a company trying to promote the use of their software?
I didn't say it was LIKE Steamworks, I said that Impulse had complained about forcing consumers to install unneeded software, and implied they were being hypocritical by limiting sales to a select few who agree to be advertised to.
Gundato: Honestly, I love Impulse. Like I said, all the convenience of Steam, but not required. Shame Impulse doesn't provide anywhere near as many features as Steam (that overlay is nice).
melchiz: Ready to Play is promising, and pre-loading is coming soon (before the next major Impulse update, according to a recent blog post).
Ready to Play *IS* promising, but I dislike Stardock's ADD/Ambition. They announce all kinds of plans, and deliver on none of them. Where is the resale ability with Goo? Where are the old Impulse skins? Why hasn't Goo been applied to more games? If Stardock concentrated more on completing each project, and improving gradually, instead of constant "innovation" and hype, they would be neck and neck with Steam IMHO.
