[quote who="kryo" reply="308" id="3098299"]Bear in mind that's a count of accounts logged in for an app which auto-starts and sits resident by default, not players in games. It basically boils down to a count of machines currently turned on whose owners have ever bought a Steam game. The number of actual in-game users is generally going to be maybe a quarter of that at the very most.[/quote] [quote who="the_Monk" reply="309" id="3098305"]...believe nothing anymore[/quote]

To combine a wide swath of responses and thoughts... [quote who="Zeta1127" reply="279" id="3097437"]Anyone who thinks they own the IP to a video game they bought is insane, but the problem with DRM is we don't even really have the fair use rights we used to have with purchasing a video game. I have never had much use for fancy multiplayer features, its not that I don't appreciate multiplayer, I do, but it isn't why I buy games. I am one of those people who is getting left

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="249" id="3096574"]Doesn't matter, as a steam works game you'll still need to use steam even if you get it from Impulse. If you don't want to deal with that redouble your efforts to cancel your preorder immediately.[/quote] I realize that, I was merely quoting the e-mail from Support. Also, I got another e-mail just before 11:00am EST, my refund has been processed and my Steam key deactivated. I'm happy with my end result. How and why I got

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="19" id="3096188"]No, what that meant is that Rebellion will be able to purchase/download from another outlets, but Steam is going to be required. [/quote] [quote who="Yarlen" reply="20" id="3096189"]Gang - There appears to have been some misunderstanding. There will NOT be a non-Steamworks version of Rebellion. Later this year when we're ready to open up participation in the beta, you will be able to purchase it from other vendo

[quote who="LoTeK_83" reply="16" id="3096161"]Quoting GoaFan77, reply 14 Quoting LoTeK_83, reply 11I just received a reply from sales support and apparently an Impulse version not requiring Steam is on schedule... That is interesting... I hope that when this version comes out those of us that preordered will be able to choose to use Impulse or steam. I cancelled my pre-order as of now and I'm awaiting a reply from support if Sins owners will be able to make of t

[quote who="JohnJames" reply="5" id="3095986"]While some hate steam and others love it, you should try it out before refusing to play a game you like.[/quote] I have tried it. I never liked it, but even that sentiment seems positive after I bought Supreme Commander 2 on release day at retail. I got it at a brick and mortar GameStop store and without knowing it had Steamworks integration. I looked it over before I left the store and there was no mention of Valve or

Agreed. I just saw the e-mail about my Pre-Order. After the Impulse sale to GameStop, I had really hoped Rebellion would have been platform-agnostic or at least kept using Impulse. I've requested a refund and my serial key to be voided if there isn't going to be a non-Steam version and have already received two Auto-responses. Just waiting for a representative now. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, so I missed all the news and talk about the coming beta. I read a <a href="ht
