Transfering games to Steam

I've bought all the sins games as they've been released. However, back in the day, they weren't offered on Steam and so I decided to continue with purchasing them on Impulse. The only reason I installed Impulse was for my sins games. Now that Rebellion is out and is Steam only, is there a way I can move my other sins games over to Steam as well? Thanks. :)

You can add them to the Steam games list manually, but beyond that, no. If you want to use Steam for downloads/updates on non-steamworks releases, you need to have purchased them from Steam.

Rebellion has all the stuff the others had. Once all the mods switch over there will be little reason to keep playing them. And why would steam just let Stardock do that if they didn't make any money off the old customers.

lol Why? Because every person that uses Steam is another person that sees their ads pop up for games/specials, which makes more game devs want to pay Steam to advertise, which makes Steam more money. Not to mention, as far as Valve is concerned, every person using Steam is a potential sell, as they will be more exposed to their store, etc...

Business, son! Business!

oh god no, if anything I can't wait till Stardock has Sins and its expansions on SDC so I can get rid of using steam for SINS.

I think SINS get screwed up by the steamworks overlay. Several times now I've had SINS crash right after the steam overlay does
