They're around. Stardock and Ironclad have an atypical relationship. I couldn't actually tell you which parts of Rebellion are done at Stardock and which parts are done there. It's like one big team.
It can happen to the best of us. I have gotten myself in trouble with the Catalyst Control Panel (little known fact that the "skinning" tech in the app is powered by Stardock's DirectSkin). I had messed up Star Wars, Old Republic with it pretty badly from tuning it for Battlefield 3 and had forgotten I had done that.
Great feedback!

I understand the desire to focus it on the actual happenings of 2012, but I think most of us would find it more interesting with all of the 2011/2012 candidates. In particular, with the plethora (unironic use) of Republican candidates as opposed to the inabundance of

No. This is the full trailer. Not the teaser.
My guess would be at least a few weeks. They're getting a TON of great data and feedback from this beta.

I don't consider someone objecting to Steam being any more unreasonable for wanting their money back than someone who has Windows Server 2003 wanting their money back (and in fact, there are more of the latter than the former). As for me, I just want to make grea
Give it a rest, StevenAus. I already responded to you earlier but I'll repeat it here: Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? Since Stardock/GPG published the Gamers Bill of Rights, it has been used, as a blunt instrument against us thousands of times. No issue was too trivial or too small for someone to try to use the GBOR as a blunt instrument to attack us with -- regardless of the validity. At some point, play

[quote who="tjsnow76" reply="59" id="3095325"]Would a good analogy be similar to Office 2007 ? Where some main apps such as Word & Excel had the new fancy Ribbon interface yet others still had the Office 2003 toolbar ??? I would have expected Microsoft to have learnt from previous years as to perfecting (as much as is possible) their new Windows release before sending it out full of bugs..... Rumours are circulating it will be released late Autumn... if there

You think we're going to see a Metro version of Office, Photoshop, or any of the other main apps that people use any time soon? No I don't, and mainly because noone is going to make a Windows 8 only program meant for hundreds of thousands of people. That would be a mite silly...like a game requiring a GTX580 or 7970 or sommat. I don't expect high end apps to em
They were showing me the updated changes, I pulled out an iPhone and video'd it. Those who want fancier quality can wait the months it takes for marketing to do them. ;)

Well, from what i see, they cut the middleman but don't make the goods cheaper... they only make more benefice for share holder... It is the same thing with food... by example, your hamburger become more expensive when price of beef meat increase but it never become cheaper when price of beef mea
Once you've been put into an Advent re-education camp, we'll see what your attitude towards their designs are.
In all these discussions, I have never heard someone suggest what alternative should be used for the features Steamworks provides. The issue for us isn't Steam. It's Steamworks. I've talked about this very issue for literally years. IMO, the OS vendor should be providing this stuff for free and aggressively supporting it. But they're not. Frankly, as a game developer, I think it's ridiculous that there aren't viable alternatives to Steamwor

Impulse was definitely the most profitable part of Stardock. And if my goal was to get up each day to sell other people's stuff, we would have stuck with it. If we hadn't sold Impulse, by this Christmas, it would have likely represented over 75% of Stardock's revenue and roughly an equal share of its profits. But I didn't start a company so I could be a retailer. I started a company to WRITE software. We developed Impulse so that we cou
