Reply to Duke Nukem Forever will use Steamworks in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Tydorius" reply="4" id="2888659"]Does anyone realize that Impulse is a COMPETITOR to Steam? Seriously? "You should sell Steamworks games". Steam _won't allow it_.

If you use someone else we'll stop selling your game and you'll lose our massive player base." if Steam wants a game exclusive to them, they typically get it. And a

This information from FADE is only estimate - Valve didnt give them with any data We have gotten a statement from Valve's Marketing Director Doug Lombardi who told us simply, "We do not release our detailed sales. We have never met with FADE." http://news.bigdownload.com/2011/02/03/study-claims-steam-generated-970-million-in-revenue-in-2010/ </

Now Derek Paxton and Jon Shafer are working for him ! What can we expect from this statement for the future [/quote] Paradox is only publisher of this game.

I just noticed that GamersGate also started selling Steamworks games (for example Empire: Total War). So from original Steamworks (COD:MW2) boycott, D2D and GG gave up and only Impulse dont sell any Steamworks game.

[quote who="aeligos" reply="22" id="2852032"]I'm with Stardock all the way. Steam makes its money by selling other people's products...that's no fun. So they can take their 3 dollar outdated games and shove it. Stardock on the other hand produces great software and games. [/quote] Sure........ and all those game developers are doing what at Valve? Flipping hamburgers for Gabe? /sarcasm/

I would like to requst feature to "ignore" (make invisible) posts made by specified users - just like any other forum, there are quite a few trolls here (and moderators clearly dont do anything about them and their posts) who only try to ruin any reasonable debate. thanks Rebel44
