Stupid Question

Ok I have Sins of a solar empire and I dont wish or want to support Gameslop.  Can I now activate the games on steam with my codes or not??

noooo

You have to use your game purchased from Impulse on Impulse, if you have one from Steam, you must use it on Steam.

No crossovers.

You can only register your game on Steam by first buying it from Steam. Similarly, you can only register via Impulse/Gamestop if you bought the game via some non-Steam source.

However, if you bought Trinity, you can download the game and future updates directly from Stardock without going through Impulse/Gamestop.

I purchased my original copy from Stardock before Impulse and the first expansion also.  So I dont see why they wont allow it as they were purchasd from Stardock not Gameslop

I bought the game from a retailer before the first expansion, so I should get a STEAM COPY BECAUSE I BOUGHT MINE FROM WALMART...

Nope, their profit loss would be rather great if they just started handing out free Steam keys...

Ok I guess I can see that point of view.  I hope when Stardock Central is back up and running we can use them there at least.

I doubt it, but I suppose it is possible, if they rehost Sins I will start screaming for a new key...

You can download direct from Stardock now.

You'll want to head here:

Right now, it's Trinity only, though.  If you have the individual products, you'll still need Impulse for now.
