[quote who="goffries" reply="28" id="2920124"]yeah... there are about 12 or 13 motherships floating around, im probably doomed,[/quote] Depends on your tech. They only use energy weapons and the main threat is the drone-things so PD is a big help. Also they are only interested in worlds with enough resources to replicate, and will leave once there are no worlds with enough.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="261" id="2919652"]A lot of those Impulse copies were discounted, so it's probably less then that.[/quote] Yes, but it is hard to factor discounts in. It is rough number that does not consider quite a few things in fact.

[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="213" id="2919041"]Well, they've got the right to do that if they want... and as they apparently are distributing through... EVERYWHERE else... Anyway, so they hate gamestop for whatever reasons. And as a portion of the profits of their game will go to gamestop after the sale is finalized, then its logical if you are distributing your game on every other platform (apparently, they don't have a problem with steam... just gamestop ), then it

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="230" id="2919189"]FYI, I believe most people's issue is not that Impulse was sold. Rather, it's who it was sold to. [/quote] Though that might be different if there was not so much pre-existing hate for the buyer.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="228" id="2919184"]Digital distribution doesn't involve shelf space. Getting sold at retail has more to do with getting proper retail distribution (Ingram Micro, Navarre, Jack of All Games, etc.). Indies rarely are able to get into that kind of distribution. That's why Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. don't carry indies. By contrast, I know for a fact that Gamestop sees indie PC gaming as a major force in digital distribution

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="221" id="2919172"]I'm sorry but that's nonsense. The contracts with Impulse with regards to Star Ruler don't change simply because Impulse, Inc. has a different stockholder. If he wants to remove his game, we can certainly grant him that. But I know that Gamestop is very interested in promoting indies.[/quote] Really it seems to be two things that brought about the decision: it is possible for things regarding it

[quote who="FadedC" reply="160" id="2917180"]I've always marginally prefered Impulse myself, not by any significant amount but enough to buy games from it over Steam. But Steam doesn't bother me either and I'm happy to buy from them as well. So this news doesn't really bother me too much, in the worst case scenario the competition will spur Steam to be better and I'll just buy from them intead. Best case scenario Impulse will get better and I'll keep buying from them.<
