No he definitely hasn't in this thread. That's not what I was saying.

JustAName: While it's possible you might find dealing with Shrapnel frustrating, don't let them put you off Illwinter's game; it's more than worth dealing with a little inconvenience, I promise.

I think Shrapnel has more of a synergy with StarDock than Steam.

Honestly, I think it would make tremendous sense if Shrapnel made an agreement with StarDock/Impulse for DD. Just don't move the forums over there, they're even worse. >.>

Also bear in mind, once Impulse is further into development (it's still essentially in Beta2), it will be a redistributable package that can be used for any business, and is supposed to be dirt cheap compared to other DD packages available. Just to bear in mind that they've barely started using it for the general public, and it still has a lot of performance tweaks needed.

Im surprised Steam considers itself out of beta. I dont think that the rest of the world does quite yet. The thing about playing your game on any machine still screams for a possible abuse. I wish it well but Im not ready to declare it the "winner" from the company side of things.
IMHO

Ive been playing Dom3 for about a year longer than most of the people here, and I still mostly play solo.

As a huge fan of Stardock and Impulse, I think that putting the Shrapnel catalogue (not only Dom3, but the full version of Stell Panthers as well, for example) on Impulse would be a great move. The gaming crowd certainly is similar enough to appreciate good turn-based titles.

They have done mutual advertising and special deals. They have a working relationship. But I dont think Shrapnel can buy StarDock yet.
