The sad tale of Stardock -> Impulse -> Gamestop -> Nothing in PC Gaming Stardock.net Forums

Many, many years ago, I bought some games via the "Stardock service" - Galciv2, I think, Elemental, then it became "Impulse" store, I bought some more games, notably Sword of the Stars, and Divinity 2, and then it was all sold to Gamestop. I did not like Gamestop one bit, but okay, at least I could still download the games. But this year, after fresh Win 10 reinstall, I wanted to redownload Gamestop client and download Sword of the Stars which I liked a lot, only to find out tha

Reply to Who is the modern PC gamer? A look at GalCiv III players in GalCiv III Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

The OS stats are absolutely irrelevant. For example, I am a heavy linux and FreeBSD user (I do my work on Linux and FreeBSD), but I dual-boot to Windows for gaming. So any gaming survey will see me as a Windows user, which is not true, the games that exist for Linux and are performing adequately, I will play under Linux.

Reply to Honest opinions, please - is the game worth buying during the current sale? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I thank everyone for their opinions. I read all the answers, went through the forums both here and on Steam, read a few reviews and discussions, watched some gameplay footage and finally decided to buy Dead Man's Draw instead. That's also a Stardock game, but it's ten times cheaper, actually complete, and provides adequate entertainment value. Once Galciv 3 is in reasonably finished state and for a reasonable total price including all the DLCs, I will probably buy it. Till

Reply to SK $19.99 from Stardock in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

I have LH as well, but I think I was given it as a compensation for Elemental (I was an early dropper), and I have been known to criticize the series, so I was not offered any such thing. I don't mind, though, I was given enough free stuff from Stardock, based on my Elemental purchase.

Never fear, if you have nothing to hide, they will find out eventually. Of course, they won't believe you at first, after all, everyone has something to hide. So they will invite you politely to a secret military base somewhere on an undisclosed location for a bit of torture sessions, just a few years really, and they won't bother you with stuff like trials and sentencing, because hey, that's just bureaucracy, right? We all know who are the good guys, and if the go

You need to buy this: http://www.entropykey.co.uk/ Experience the whole new level of gaming with real randoness. When the AI should be erratic, it will be truly erratic! Isn't it exciting? Plus you can make NSA boys sweat a bit when they brute-force through your encrypted messages.

Reply to New and somewhat concerning development in AI in Personal Computing GalCiv3 Forums

Please wake me up when AIs will be capable of playing games like Rome Total War, Civilization, Go ... or Galactic Civilization on a semi-competent level. Or when they are capable of truly understand human language, and to perceive things like irony, metaphor, symbolism, etc. I think the current tech is still eons from that. Meanwhile... why don't we make our world at least a bit asymmetric so that the current AIs have at least a fleeting chance of taking over, just for the

Reply to Hearthstone - a wonderful game, but not so honest business scheme in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

AgaresOak - there are better ways to dilute card pool for arena, or to create crappy 2-drops to weaken cards like the shredder - I remember there will be a card from TGT (forgot the name) that is a 2/3 for 2, I think, and it creates a mana crystal as battlecry, and destroys on deathrattle. If this falls out of a shredder, and gets immediately killed, that would be a huge disaster. Ice Rager from Magma Rager is poor power creep, and understandably, Kripparrian rubs

Reply to Hearthstone - a wonderful game, but not so honest business scheme in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

AgaresOaks - read your writeup, interesting insights, but while introducing the new TGT cards, Blizzards have clearly shown that rather than to buff the terrible old cards nobody actually plays, they release the buffed version of the old card as a new card, to make more money and to push the old garbage in card packs as a filler. I mean - an old card, Magma Rager, a 5/1 card for 3 mana - absolute garbage, nobody plays it, ever. With TGT, they are releasing a new card, Ice
