Yup.  You can still find itty bitty PC game areas in places like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy.

I was so disappointed that the Best Buy near me reduced their games section from 5 full isles to just one rack, and the shelves on the rack are almost never full.  Pity.  No one appreciates good box art and a well put together game manual anymore...

so you give us a couple of vague articles on the dev forums and a picture of a really big ship and you expect us to pre-order? ... most games have video demonstrations or at least trailers by now!!!

Troll much?

While he as a point.

You dont have pre-order if you choose. It call free will.

There been pre-orders started with less info that what we have for Rebellion.

Anywho....

I have purchased the pre release special two months ago and WOULD like to know when to expect it to ship.

I know my money is still in my account till it ships.

About time it shipped.

Regards 

@Carlsfand anyone else who might be curious,

According to this link: https://store.stardock.com/product.aspx?productid=ESD-SDE-W011  The release date for Rebellion is December 1st.

Thank you Stant for finding that.

If it was going to be release on December 1st, I would hope they let out that beta SOON.

I did my pre-order, but I have never heard a thing back. Now that Gamestop owns Impulse, I hope they do not lose my pre-order info.

Stardock I have faith in.

GameStop.. I have no faith in. 

Keep the faith.

As Yarlen said, Rebellion orders are with Stardock.  The December 1st date on that was a placeholder, it's not going to be released then.

More info about possible release dates and such will be detailed in the coming weeks or so.

Thanks Island Dog that is somewhat re-assuring. Having noticed that Impulse is now selling games that REQUIRE 'STEAM' ... well, I don't hold much hope for them staying afloat for long. $&%!

I don't suppose Stardock will have a simple update service that requires you to register the game to update? Kind of how Impulse used to be?

Those PC games shelves do exist.  I bought my copy of Trinity form a Wal-Mart for I can't rememeber how much, about 40 bucks.

Impulse has always sold some games that required Steam, they were just few and far between.

Speaking of Impulse... Oh. My. God. Game Stop has taken what was once the shining beacon of digital distribution and crapped messily all over it. I've pretty much switched to Steam since they took over - which is saying a lot, coming from me. Sorry Star Dock, your baby did NOT go to a good home; Game Stop is the metaphoric pedophile to Impulse.

In fact, they don't even call it Impulse any more, and the damned thing has pop-up advertisements. It's terrible. Call CPS.

In fact we will.  It won't be nearly as complex as Impulse used to be, but it will provide a way to keep our products updated and for folks to re-download their purchases.
