My Sins Games Not Showing Up in Stardock Central Support Stardock Forums

I had purchased my various sins games through Impulse, so I wanted to give this SDC a try. My games are not showing up on SDC and when I go into my account downloads on your site, it tells me I have to use GamestopNow to download them. I was lead to believe from earlier posts about SDC that I could get my downloads directly from SDC. Is this incorrect? Thanks in advance!

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="112" id="3026459"]Bombeross - You can download the latest full version directly from us and in the very near future will be able to get patches that way too.

I can accept that my other non-Stardock game purchases are lost to Gamestop, as long as I didn't lose Sins. (it was only a couple of games anyways) Please forgive my rants, but I rea

And steam is more trustworthy? that's ironic.[/quote] Go take a look at what they do in their retail stores and make that statement. They pull some slimy things with new games (ie - they crack them open and remove inserts that they don't like etc et

[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="105" id="3026186"] Quoting Bomberross, reply 103 Now if I want to play/download GalCiv, GalCiv2, Demigod, or Sins I have to use Impulse, which was fine when Stardock owned it. However, Stardock doesn't own it any more. My games didn't transfer back to Stardock, which is my main complaint. Go to https://store.stardock.com , log-in, click "my account", click "view your product download" ... you will have a screen like

Quote from Ashenkhar "It does to some extent, but I remember how Stardock's digital distribution service started. The thing is... Stardock Central *became* Impulse, so my GalCiv and GalCiv 2 copies got transferred to that service. Now if I want to play/download GalCiv, GalCiv2, Demigod, or Sins I have to use Impulse, which was fine when Stardock owned it. However, Stardock doesn't own it any more. My games didn't transfer

Reply to Heroes of Might & Magic - Which Version to buy? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

After spending MANY hours, days, (and maybe years!) playing HOMM in its various incarnations, this is my opinion: Play either 3 or 5. They both have similar gameplay (in fact Ubisoft stated they wanted to be faithful to #3), the only real difference being that 5 is a resource hog. Further, 5 does have a better set of campaigns than 3. 1 & 2 are just previous versions of the exact same game going into 3. 4, in my opinion, was horrible. My 2 cents!<

Reply to PC game piracy hurts us all in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

For me, it's all about the preview factor. If a game has a demo available, I'll download it to try it out. If not, I'll find a "free" copy and try it out. If the game is good (IMHO), then I ALWAYS buy a copy. I want to support the things I feel are worthwhile, but please give me a demo. If the game sucks, then I don't feel bad about the copy, and toss it in the digital trash. My bottom line thinking, is that great games will attract gamers
