Yes, you should normally be able to find information about this here: https://www.stardock.com/products/cursorfx/purchase.asp but I think the servers are being tweaked at the moment. If I recall correctly, the upgrade price is about $10 USD.
Congrats to all!

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="4" id="2080922"] So think of it like that. The person who just walked into your conversation see’s their Wonder Woman being called ugly. They will battle you because they feel there can be absolutely nothing wrong with Wonder Woman. Likewise if you manage to help them see the light most of the time it’s not for the better. Anyone who is that infatuated with Wonder Woman will not do something positive enough with their newfound information to of
Sorry for your loss, messiah. It sounds like a great loss for his country as well.

President Obama promised to address this issue while running for office. He claimed this should no

[quote]What are the supposed economic benefits to the consumer of a monopoly? I'm askling because we did have monopolies and oligopolies in the late 19th century here in America. It lead to the Sherman Antitrust Act. In other words, Congress specifically recognized the harm inherent to consumers under such systems.

[quote]lets say if Stardock was in that position of Direct download dominence that (hopefully) they would use their power wisely, but you never know, which was also my point in that you cant automatically assume that a monopoloy of a direct download service would be a bad thing to customers (i can think of several benefits from it).

[quote]how incredibly charitable by Stardock to provide such incredibly gracious updates such as high-graphic settings. Truly that's something no other company would ever patch into a game after release.

[quote who="Xan" reply="19" id="2055416"]I find it rather interesting that Steam fanboys complain that Sins of a Solar Empire and Demigod and GalCiv and other Stardock games aren't on Steam but don't complain that Valve forces people to get its games off of Steam. A user can buy Sins of a Solar Empire at the store and never mess with Impulse if they don't want. A user who buys Left4Dead at the store is forced to become a Steam user.[/quote] This is another inter
Well, personally, I think Impulse NOW should have an option to automatically download and/or install updates if that's what the user wants. I don't know how much I'd use it personally, but I do have a much faster connection at work than at home (and this is a feature that people have been talking about on the boards for what seems like years), so I think Impulse Anywhere will be great.
[quote who="Kitkun" reply="13" id="2055387"]It's horrible business sense to give your competitor a slice of your profits. [/quote] Actually, I think Skellt has a point. Until and unless Impulse Reactor has "can't-live-wiithout" features, thereby making it the go-to digital distribution app, why not make games available through as many outlets as possible? After all, a sale is a sale.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="2055102"]Direct2Drive is a different beast than Impulse or Steam. Impulse/Steam are like iTunes. Direct2Drive is like Amazon.[/quote] Okay. Sorry for the bad analogy. I am curious about general opinions on the service though. (Thanks, Annatar!)
What opinions do people have about Direct2Drive? How does it compare to Impulse and Steam?
Stardock Forums
Well, my short answer is "no." I am also of the opinion that Impulse is easier for the end-user than Steam, particularly in that you can launch Impulse games without having Impulse loaded into memory. Sometimes it's easier to launch the games from within Impulse, but I prefer having the option. I like both Steam and Impulse, and I've also used gog.com. At least for the purpose of running Stronghold on a low-medium spec laptop (Panasonic Toughbook CF-19), it's very straightforward. I
