Same. As much as I want this game, I won't support Gamestop in any way, shape or form.

Seeing as a percentage of my money, should I buy it, would end up at gamestop even if I bought it at gamersgate due to the gamestop owned goo.
And how this 'exclusive' is shaping up, even if it's "just for a while" I can't support a company that so quickly goes back on it's promises even if the game is good.
They said they'd release on all possible digital venues, bmt micro, gamersgate, impulse and possibly a few others; greenmangaming?.
Supporting this model would only make it normal after a while, same as happened with DLC's, and before we knew it we'd have even more DRM in digital distribution vendors and shady deals of exlusivity and adware.
So I won't, shame really.

I'm still willing to buy simply because the DRM isn't intrusive, it's a simple key-check. I'm aware that they're using Goo, but they've been saying that since the start, even when shipping the game via other distributors.

As I said, it's not the primary issue, I was willing to let that go. |

Hi All,
Well the title says it all. Everything seems to be a go and you'll be able to get SPAZ on Impulse on Monday May 9 2011. Once the GOO contracts are signed, we will also be contacting other distributors and getting our own distribution option (BMT Micro) underway. Again, thanks to GamersGate for being so understanding.
Once we release, we will also be putting the PR machine into overdrive. Until now, we have backed off of PR until people can buy what we are selling. Once SPAZ is available, anything you all can to do spread the word would be excellent. Hopefully we will also be able to come up with some fun PR event ideas as a community as well.
I think Impulse keeps time at GMT-4
Yes, it is finally happening!
|
Then there's the legal wrangle for getting Goo onto BMT Micro and all the other distributors, but it's a legal contract that needs to be drawn up and I have serious doubts that's going to be any time soon ... especially not now the devs have signed an exclusivity agreement with Impulse/Gamestop.
Sad. Oh well, I'll probably pick it up if/when it hits GamersGate - but I'm not holding my breath any longer.

What happened to their whole stance on "When it DOES become available, we want it available everywhere" stuff? Guess they don't care about that anymore.
Oh well, will pirate, guess I'll buy it if it hits Gamersgate.

We will be releasing on GamersGate and BTM Micro hopefully a couple weeks after Impulse. There is some minor legal stuff that has to be resolved before we can distribute in multiple places.

Yeah, right  |
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen 
I gave these guys some money instead... http://www.age-of-fear.net
Turn based, strategy rpg, cross platform. |

I own a few Impulse titles too, but this was prior to their acquisition by Gameshit ... so they'll be the last games I buy on there.
~edit~
Store page now online, no buy link yet, still not buying it anyhow.

~edit~
Purchase just went live. Hopefully there's a "release" soon, or at least a demo, which I can play until GamersGate gets their copy.

MAY 9th 2011
Beta has arrived:
Hi everyone, we are please to announce that you can finally pre-purchase SPAZ and get access to the Beta. Impulse is currently exclusively hosting the Beta, and soon we will also be distributing on GamersGate, BMT Micro and other digital distribution platforms. Please join our forums and provide input. We would love to hear your ideas, and may even incorporate them into upcoming patches
SPAZ Demo:
We have a new demo available! Please give it a try if you are on the fence or want to know more about SPAZ. The demo contains about 90 minutes of gameplay and serves as a tutorial and introduction to the SPAZ universe. Each time you play the demo, the Galaxy will create itself anew, just like the full SPAZ experience.
Beta Trailer:
We have a Beta launch trailer available describing SPAZ’s core systems and gameplay mechanics. Give it a look and pass it around to your friends. The game with the silly name actually has quite a bit of depth.
Surprise Narrator:
This is a poorly kept secret on the forums, but TotalBiscuit (http://www.cynicalbrit.com/) is our narrator! He offered, we happily accepted, and we are just shocked with our good fortune.
Thanks for waiting:
A special thanks to the community on the forums. Your positive comments, ideas and energy have really helped in the time leading up to this Beta release. It has been a long 22 months, but your energy has inspired us reach the finish line. We hope you enjoy SPAZ and continue to touch base here regularly for future updates.

Is the demo any different than the alpha?

Why are people hyped?? it is a 2d space shooter sandbox game, I think the average gamer will spend 3 hours with this, don't expext anything else then the core game (shooting ships, repetitive missions, upgrades) from 2 guys programming a game for a year.
(and no this will not be like minecraft)

Bought the game on Impulse. GameStop did nothing bad to me and two indie devs need money ASAP. I have never even heard about GameStop before all this boycott thing started.
Enjoying the game so far

I despise Sony and refuse to support them financially, but I do still buy games that use SecuROM technology ---- as long as it's only for date/key checking.
