Thanks for the update!

One question... for those that preorder will the game be availible for digital download before June 17th? Or will if be closer to the gold date?

I hate to be a pain, but I've always been a political buff amd then I hear Stardock is the one making a game.... I can hardly wait. I'm hitting refresh all day long on the forums waiting for new info.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info.

I'm really loving the game and it's a great job given the tight deadline. I understand crunch time all too well, so I'll tip my hat to you.

A lot of that depends on the state of Impulse which is being launched with it.  So the answer is, probably not. It'll all probably come out on June 17th no matter what.

You tell me I have to wait and in the next post make me want to play even more than before. Your killing me!!!

But good things come to those who wait. Thanks for the info!

What does the update to the game do?

Also how do you update a game in impulse?

Edit: Seems to be that my registration is gone for this game. Want to play the game again

It is highly disappointing that Stardock seems to have prioritized big retailers ahead of there loyal customers. I think alot of us ordered the game under the false promise of a beta. Now with the game scheduled for release 6/16 it would seem preorders could be given early access. I realize there may be some issues with retailers in doing so. But I thought Stardock stood for a new business model. Frankly I dont understand why the working version(s) some were able to download and play werent made available to all pre-orders.

I had a buddy who hadn't played Stardock games before. We both ordered the beta shortly after the originally promised beta date (4/24 I think it was). I told him how great and customer oriented Stardock was. After our orders were placed we realized the beta wasnt REALLY available...yet noone had bothered to make a simple post in the forums to inform customers prior to make their orders. Suffice it to say my buddy is now of the opinion that Stardock is some rinky-dink company who neither cares about it customers nor is capable of responsible communication with its customers.

I must say it is a low point for Stardock. I love your games. But it makes it hard for me to bring you new customers when you fail. A lot of people who haven't played a Stardock game are going to buy PM 2008. Many will read these forums. None will walk away with an impression that Stay.

I'm not really that mad about not having a beta. I am disappointed in the communication. I am more disapointed that Stardock seems to have done nothing to try to make it right with their most loyal customers...the ones who preorder months in advance.

If Stardock has decided that big retailers are their most important customer they would do well to remember that retailers make decisions on how many copies to order based on preorders. If you don't treat your preorder customers right retail success won't follow.rdock is a better software company than the rest. That is sad because I know it is. It would have taken alot less effort to do this the right way than it will take to undo the damage of doing it the wrong wa

stop whining, the beta is fine. I like mccain's proenvironment view the best; you can hammer cali and lock 'er up.
