Why is Elemental on Steam?

from Elemental Forums

I thought Stardock and Valve (or at least Impulse and Steam) were competitors. But earlier today I found Elemental on Steam for 10% off.

That was an epic fake.  LOL.   Poor Frogboy.  I'll bet his warts will be in an uproar when he sees this!

Funny with all the steam hate.

 

I've tried to buy all new titles I wanted through the stardock client, but I never can because of "regional" issues.

 

Like others, all my friends are on Steam.

I have games like SoSE and Children of the Nile.. but never got in to the latter, and SoSE is just dramatically annoying as soon as you try to play a large game. (game slows down to a crawl.)


There's just no incentive for someone living in Denmark to make the switch to Impulse when you can't buy more than 1% of the available games.

True. As a fellow Dane I too have experienced the regional issue a few times before. This will be my first game on Impulse, since I cant buy it on steam. Maybe ill buy my games here in the future, if it works this time.

Harpo: Nope, I'll be sure to give that a try. Sins should really get an engine update for multiple-cores and higher RAM usage IMO. :)

Yeah I really hope Ironclad does a sequel that supports 64 bit and dual/quad core.

If it doesn't, I'm not even sure I'd want it.


Also, a single player campaign is a MUST. I want to know more about the story!

Quoting father_nurgle, reply 9Fortunately Steam allows you to add non-Steam games, so you can still imagine you bought it there (minus the 10% off).

Why on earth would you want to do that? So you can run a 3rd party app to play a game that doesn't even require it?
Your joking right.

I have all my games that are steam and are able to execute without other Crap DRM. It's good to be able to launch all your DD games from 1 loader. It's very handy. I have 190 steam games and about 100 none steam games. so people do it for convenience.
