Reply to Little Miracles in programming in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

The most awesome thing for me about the BlaX eSATA dock is how I can just toss in a new drive if I need more storage. This is how I'm storing pretty much all of the assets sent to me by publishers for Impulse publishing. I'm nearing capacity on my current 1.5TB drive, so when I hit the end, I'll just order a new one. I'm probably going to get a dock for home too.

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="5" id="2369946"] Any reason why we can't attach files on these forums?? [/quote] For screenshots illustrating bugs, I'd suggest using one of the many free image hosting services available and linking the image in a comment/post. You can also embed images in a post that are hosted elsewhere.

Reply to EA Comes to Impulse! in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

At no point did we ever say we wouldn't sell products on Impulse if they used a given DRM solution. Please do not confuse our own development and publishing principles with what we do as a digital store. They're two very different things. The Gamers Bill of Rights (what you're likely referring to) or our numerous statements regarding the efficacy of DRM solutions have only ever been in reference to the products we develop or publish ourselves. It is our personal stan

Reply to Never Forget September 11th - What Were You Doing That Day? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I was a sophomore in college and living in a house with some friends off-campus at the time. I was doing my morning email & website check when one of my friends IM'd me telling me to turn on the television (any channel, didn't matter). I stumbled downstairs, turned on the TV and flopped down on the futon. As soon as I saw what was happening, I picked up the phone and called my parents to let them know. Shortly after my mom picked up, the first tower fell. I

Reply to Impulse and Goo? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

For clarification... Impulse provides account-level protection by restricting access to the download & updates to users who have a valid registration on their account. GOO provides activation protection on the game executable. This is the same activation system used by all of Stardock's titles. This is an extra bit of protection to ensure that the copy installed and run is valid too. If you get the game via Impulse, this activation is seamless to yo

The funniest thing is I think I'm going to have to use the MiFi signal at PAX so my AT&T iPhone can actually get an Internet signal. Oh irony.

It would have to be one of those debit cards that acts also as a credit card. My bank for example issues Visa Debit cards. Works wherever they take Visa, and takes the money straight from my checking acct.

Reply to Hearts of Iron III in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Good Morning, We received an updated build of Hearts of Iron 3 last night that needs to go through our QA process before we can release it. This will result in a bit of a delay (but not dramatic). The game will be in your hands today (well, today in the Eastern time zone.) If there are any significant delays to the release, I will post them here. -Mike
