Can we get some kind of official word on the preorder allowing us to have the game in Steam?  I understand the beta only being on Stardock, but I'd like to get the game itself on Steam.

At a minimum it will be available via Stardock Central.

Island Dog is an official representative of the company.

I don't see why they can't just attach a steam key to the email or download page if were already getting the digital download.  Humble indie bundles did this and it was super easy. 


A lot of people like steam because most of their game collection resides there and its super easy to setup games on multiple machines that way.  Its much easier to right click X games to install on a new machine than it is to flip a disc for every single game you want to install.  Seriously its so easy. 

 

+1 for this, I preordered right away, cuz it's such a steal at 29.95! And it's a game I know I'm gonna spend a lot of time on. But it's practical for me to keep it in steam, and let steam handle all software upgrades and install/uninstalls and such

I pre-ordered this back when it was previously on offer back in September, and its showing on my pre-orders menu. However, I recall it saying that I won't be charged until the Beta is up and its not showing on my orders history. The problem is the card I think I used on the pre-order is due to expire at the end of the month. Is there any way for me to check what card I used and, if necessary, change it?

I know Steam isn't everyone's fancy, but I'll pay the extra $10 to keep Rebellion neatly nestled in my games library if that is what is needed. Sad I'll miss the beta, but I'm ok with that as well.

Well, a non steam game  can be added to the Steam client without problem...

On the top menu... games > add a non Steam game to my library ... and steam begin scan for ALL applications/software... not only you can add games but you can add application too... you can add your e-mail software, your open-office software, everything...

Rebellion pre-order keys will be redeemable via Steam when the time comes for the beta and final release.

Go to my account once logged on to the Stardock store and there should be a "my pre-orders" button.

I don't see a "my preorders". I've got "my downloads", "billing information", "password management", and "order history". It doesn't show up in any of them, but I still have my preorder email with order number. :confused:

When I try to checkout the preorder with $10 off it says:

Pre-Requisite must be purchased first

You must have purchased the pre-requisite product before attempting to purchase Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Upgrade [PO].

I have Sins Trinity on Steam, how can I preorder and get the discount?

I must warn you all that your going to play the beta first after you pay-so are you willing to pay for the game now and get an unfinished copy or wait to pay for the completely polished version? Frankly speaking i'd rather let the regulars find all the bugs in the beta and the modders dissect the game and pretend they know better -to amuse myself.

I would love to preorder, but I'm holding out for a boxed edition, or better yet, a collectors edition. How does that work in relation to this rebate for current owners? I'm assuming the special editions, if available, won't have the same price as the regular one.

Typically, if you pre-order you will get the option to upgrade to the boxed version when available.

It looks like your pre-order got cancelled as part of a credit-card address changing support ticket.

If you re-pre-order you should be all set.

Email sales@stardock.com if you have any questions.

Your best bet is to email sales@stardock.com to have them (us) cancel the order and make a new one with a card that will be good until beta release.

Oh, hmm...well in that case I guess I might as well pre order I just really want to make sure I don't miss out on the CE if available.

Thank you for the quick reply!

After using the totally non-obvious instructions to see that my preorder is confirmed, I still see no way to update my billing information, aside from the address. Since you tricked me into pre ordering 400 years before the game was released my card has long been shredded and expired... How can I go about that part?

Edit: I see someone else has the same issue:

Your best bet is to email sales@stardock.com to have them (us) cancel the order and make a new one with a card that will be good until beta release.

So, when will that be? I need to make sure my card will still be good

I would like to take advantage of this nice pre order discount for existing customers, but this is very complicated for me at the least. 1st of all, the only game i have for stardock store is the original sins which is under my old email account. 2nd, i have entrenchment and diplomacy through gamespy impulse with my newer email account. I have all the games posted on my games list by by using both email account. now how would i be able to get the discount price? I don't seem to see any pre order of Rebellion available for gamespy impulse at all. I tried to buy it through stardock store but it doesn't give any discount because it only shows the original sins is the only thing i bought from there.

 

help or send me an private email for the coupon would be nice lol j/k. but please do assist if you guys know how to get around this.

Any idea when the individual games/expansions will be available through "My Downloads"?  I've been waiting months to install without the need of Impulse!

Edit: Never mind, found my answer here (hopefully soon).

Quoting kryo,

Currently the store just has the latest releases of each game. If you have individual games/expansions as well, they're not on there for the time being (but should be eventually). Trinity, Demigod, Elemental, and GC2 Ultimate are all available as direct, standalone downloads with no client.

You can merge your products to one account at https://www.stardock.com/support/registrations/

Once you do that you can get the discount at https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/store

Missed the last pre-order discount.

 

Plus the exchange rate (CAD/USD) was pretty good today, so I completely ran out of reasons to not to pre-order.

thank you Zubas but umm... lol!

I forgot to mention that I had already pre ordered rebellion under $39.99 before your reply. I don't suppose it's still possible to get it right. I have already merged everything under 1 email account and checked my current pre order status and it is still under $39.99. No big deal if its not possible. Thanks again Zubas for your quick reply.
