Sins: Rebellion Pre-order Discount is Back for Trinity/Diplomacy Customers

February 8, 2012 10:25:52 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

We are happy to announce that we have returned the special pre-order pricing for the upcoming Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion for previous customers of Sins: Trinity or Diplomacy.  The special pre-order price is $29.95 which is $10 off regular price and this discount will only be available for a limited time. 

If you have already purchased the pre-order for Rebellion your price has automatically been adjusted, and you can check your pre-order status on the account page. 

You do not need to re-purchase.

If you haven't pre-ordered yet, now is the time to get yours in for the 2012 launch of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.

Yay.  I'll have to get in on this now that we're closer to the eventual release.  Thanks Ironclad and Stardock.

How will the game be available to those who preorder with this discount?  Will it come via Impulse?  Will it be available via Steam?  Or will it be available directly from Stardock?  (I'm sure this has been answered before, but it would be good to hear it again for those of us like me who have a short memory.)

Will those of us who already own the original and the two expansions be able to install Rebellion completely independently of them in a brand new folder, or will the Rebellion programming be dependent on the installation of the previous games?  (In other words, will downloading and installing Rebellion be the same as though I were downloading and installing a completely unrelated product for the first time?)

I actually perfer my games on hard copies. I don't trust Steam bc consumer protection laws arn't really up to date with current distribution systems. Steam can ban your account and you lose all the games and their support is absolute crap when it comes to this. You can try to sue but not a whole lot of people can afford such a thing.

On Steam the game is not yours in a sense. At the moment the advantages of Steam don't outweigh the disadvantages and the risks of Steam or really any other online distributor.

At a minimum it will be available via Stardock Central.

This is a stand-alone expansion, you don't need the other games for Rebellion to work.  You just need to have purchased Trinity/Diplomacy to receive the discount.

I'd like to know how the game will be released as well...  If I can reserve the game here and put it into my Steam account, I'll preorder immediately.  If it'll only come via Impulse or Stardock login, I'd rather wait and get it on Steam.

I pre-ordered it prior, but when I log in to the above link it's prompting to buy it..  It's not telling me anything about my pre-order.  Can I get some confirmation if I'm pre-ordered or not?

Has the system been fix so that those who preorder will get the game to show up first on impulse the day of release vs those who buy it the day of release?

Why can I only pay via Credit Card? In Germany only very few people have one. I could pay for Entrenchment and Diplomacy via PayPal, why not now? This is pretty stupid.

Try this

There is probably a faster way, but if you used your forum account to pre-order, go to "My Account", hit the registrations tab, hit view registrations, sign in at the Stardock Store, then go to my account again, then "My Pre-orders".

The problem is pay pal not Stardock. From what I understand Pay Pal won't allow purchase of pre-orders or anything else where your product won't be available until a later date. None of the pre-orders have been allowed by pay pal. Once the full game or maybe even the beta comes out it will be okay, though of course this offer will have expired...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Stardock Central what used to be around before Impulse was released? Are you bringing it back, or is this referring to something else now?

Umm, unless you guys can Steamworks the key for me, no way.

I bought Sins retail upon release. Never picked up the expansions. Eventually had to move my install over to Impulse, which I never used for anything else. That got sold off, Trinity was released on Steam at a cheaper price than I could get the two expansions, and so that is my Sins install now. Sins sits comfortably with 95% of my games, and I like that.

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.

Again I don't really see people's obsession with Steam.

Maybe I am not into it which would be odd since I am 16 and I should be into this but I just don't turst the dam thing. If Steam somehow dies on us than all those games in that "Library" can go along with it. There have been cases where the ban accounts and the person loses hundreds of dollars worth of games.

Too me seems to big of a risk.

Steam's chances of ever going belly up are very very low.  And they have said many many times that if it ever comes to that, they will make a way for people to get their games rather than forever locking them from it.  I currently sit well over 300 games on steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/TheComplex), and when trinity came out for steam, I bought it again through steam and uninstalled impulse.  I was one of the first week buyers for the first sins and even have the shirt they sent to people who bought it and uploaded a picture of themselves with the box.

 

I am going to go out on a limb and buy the preorder through stardock, but if it links to impulse, i will consider it a waste of money.  I will NEVER install impulse again.

The beta is through Stardock directly. There is no longer any association with Impulse. If you bought Sins while Impulse was still owned by Stardock you'll soon be able to download the game through Stardock instead as well.

Actually after I purchased I looked at "My Downloads" through their site.  Demigod is listed and can be downloaded through them, and my purchase of trinity through steam.  The impulse expansions and original box are not listed as downloadable.  I hope that is because I have trinity through steam and downloading them separately is just considered a waste or something.

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.

New app, same name. However we will (already do, for the major ones) also offer products through the website for direct standalone download as well.

I'm also wondering about this. I get the same thing described above and when I go to my account at the stardock.com store it only shows sins/entrenchment/diplomacy - not rebellion (which I did preorder during the last preorder special).

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

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.
