GameZone Interview: Tackling the Issues: DRM, Piracy, Digital Distribution and More with Stardock President and CEO Brad Wardell

GameZone writes: ""I want to put out games that when consumers see Stardock on the box they say, 'That's a good game, I can trust it.'"

Stardock is best known to gamers as one of the leading strategy game developers and publishers. With hits like Galactic Civilizations and Sins of a Solar Empire (and the forthcoming Demigod), most players would never guess that Stardock also runs a successful business creating desktop enhancement utilities. But that's not all they're into. As most of you are already aware, Stardock has also created its own digital distribution service, Impulse, which was designed to avoid the hurdles created by DRM (digital rights management)."

I wonder if we're over the hump now or if this is the next Call of Duty.

darkronin2293569d ago

I still haven't found a MOBA I can get into. Did LoL for awhile, but it was such a slow grind in terms of ranking up and getting money. DOTA 2 just scares me. Infinite Crisis was alright, but I lost interest in it pretty quickly.

Chaoticmoon3569d ago

Why does Dota 2 scare you? Just wondering because imo its a fairly accessible game especially if you get some friends together to play with you. Also if you are just scared of sucking dont be, just have fun and ignore those who flame because if they are flaming then they probably suck too and are just trying to blame you for any of their mistakes. So just download it AND HAVE FUN!

Great article it is nice that someone documented the history of MOBA's.

midnightambler3569d ago

Interesting stuff, especially for a noob like me.

"From mod to sensation" to over-saturation.

i dont like how all these companys are now trying to make mobas, the markets already been taken by lol and dota.

they should come up with something new instead of just copying.
