Let me also note that something we are working at going forward with Impulse::Reactor is the ability to allow gamers to login to chat overlays and such with their Facebook, Windows Live, etc. ID's.

This is obviously different from the actual Impulse Store, but I just wanted to point it out that making logins easier is something we are working on for games.


Impulse won't let me buy the games I want. I'm just presented with a "Not available in your region"-message. I think Impulse would have a lot more of the international market if they didn't have such restrictions, because they regularly out-price Steam. I do realise that such things are up to the publisher, but surely Stardock must be able to make them ease up on such restrictions...
It's not that easy to make them ease up unfortunately. You have to remember publishers typically have overseas operations and contracts have to be negotiated separately. Believe me, we would sell to the entire planet if we could. :)
