Impulse is proud to announce the addition of the Electronic Arts catalog to its growing library of games.  Today sees the release of The Sims 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising, and Spore.

In The Sims 3, every Sim is now a truly unique person, with a distinct personality. Will your Sims be evil, artistic, insane, and romantic kleptomaniacs? It’s entirely up to you. Influence the behaviors of your Sims with traits you’ve chosen and watch how their traits impact their relationships and the neighborhood around them. Combine over 60 personality traits to create millions of unique Sims and control their lives. The Sims 3 is available for $49.95 at: http://www.impulsedriven.com/sims3.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 continues the alternative history strategy series with yet another tweak to the timeline.  Facing certain defeat, with the Allies at their doorstep, a desperate Soviet leadership uses its own experimental time machine to save themselves.  Going back in time, they ensure that the Allies never gain their technological advantage, saving their future selves.  However, like all changes to the timeline, this has unforeseen consequences.  Fight as the Allies, Soviets or the all-new Empire of the Rising Sun in this action-packed real-time strategy game.  Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 is available for $29.95 at http://www.impulsedriven.com/redalert3.

In Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising, players learn what happened in the aftermath of Red Alert 3.  This stand-alone expansion pack adds four all-new campaigns, more star-studded live-action movies to tell the ongoing Red Alert story as well as an all-new Commander’s Challenge mode where players must withstand the brutal onslaught of the world’s toughest commanders.  Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising is available for $19.95 at http://www.impulsedriven.com/ra3uprising.

In Will Wright’s PC masterpiece, Spore, players take an amazing journey of creation as they guide their creature through five stages of evolution. Unleash your imagination as you make fantastical creatures, vehicles, buildings and spaceships. Players can show off creations and everything you make can be shared and used by other players. Explore your world and beyond with Spore, now available for $39.95 at: http://www.impulsedriven.com/spore.

Well, the best way to show your displeasure at EA is to buy other games on Impulse instead.


EA will get a message from that, I'm just unsure it will be the right message.

EA comes on Impulse.

I hope that Stardock can eventually persuade EA to use GOO.

Indeed. Europeans are second rate customers. I guess we're used to it. They'll probably sell it to us for €50 in half a year or so...

The only thing keeping me from uninstalling Impulse is my preorder of Elemental. I have bought GalCiv II and Sins, but I dont play em anymore.

Yes I am the undercast that is called European. I will not be looking among hundreds of games to find the few I am kindly allowed to buy.

The Gamers Bill of Rights (what you're likely referring to) or our numerous statements regarding the efficacy of DRM solutions have only ever been in reference to the products we develop or publish ourselves.

Which is probably why Brad said in his blog post on Edge (second to last paragraph):

Brad Wardell
[H]ere are the steps Stardock and Gas Powered Games plan on taking: Announce the new principles and adhere to them (done); Try to get other publishers to sign on; Form a consortium;

Yes, trying to get other publishers to sign on and form a consortium really sounds like keeping it Stardock-only.

Fortunately that blog also states (last paragraph):

Brad Wardell
[I]t's the gamers who will end up driving something like this.

so I suggest noone buys any EA product from Impulse until they remove the DRM.

NO!  Do NOT pirate their products!  If you pirate them all it shows them is that they really do need all that DRM crap.  If you want them to stop putting DRM on games, stop buying them - and stop bloody pirating them too!

My exact thoughts on this issue.

Concur.

Yes, notwithstanding the publishers' own unfortunate contribution to this, piracy should not be done. Period.

Sigh... Where's my Dragon Age?

Here's some helpful hints on how YOU can fix that!

 

Make it so there's only one company responsible for distribution for every country in Europe.

Make it so there's only one ratings group for every country in Europe.

Set Stardock up with an office and staff in Europe.

 

Since I don't see any of those three happening, nothing to see here.
