So I dl the demo for Angel of Attack from Steam, already to play, but allas it tells me the game is not available and to try back later, bummer. With all this talk of “launching” I did not…

You are missing some Microsoft updates. Try that and see if it works. If not, post on that Steam forum and someone will help if I’m not around.

I’ve long since dropped out of the software industry so I don’t know who the big players are anymore or whose behind them. And truthfully I’m glad. The pressure to push products because of antsy investors or short deadlines is to much. ( Not to say what I’m doing now,tech support, is any better)

It’s hard for people to understand the sheer effort it takes to code games like this, but I don’t think it’s the consumers to blame 100%. Game companies like EA who push paid beta tests onto consumers are causing people to feel used and abused. Who is to blame for piracy? I think it’s EA.

At least thats wot I think because right around that time, he stopped speaking to me. heh. Weird that.

It doesn’t matter anyway because Impulse – like their first failed portal Totalgaming.net – is not even a bleep on the digital distribution radar for non-Stardock games. We’re on all the top – relevant – sites now anyway, so I don’t care about Impulse anymore really.

My guess is that with the behemoth that is Steam, anyone on Impulse who wants our games, can get it either on Steam or any number of places. Its not like Impulse has that many games anyway, so of course gamers are getting games from other sources.

In other words, sorry none of our games will be coming to Impulse. And we don’t care anymore.

Are there any plans on releasing on star dock?

With how star dock treats its people and the over-all awesome community I think it would be beneficial to pop over that way.

Some new space sim titles would be most welcome. The genre is sorely lacking on the PC platform and I look forward to test driving your latest releases. As a matter of fact, I’ll check out the demo(s) and go from there.
