Was the "success" of that game what they want to emulate?quote> Well presumably because they didn't have access to the list of customers who bought Sim City 4 Just playing devil's advocate.

I'm just waiting for the rude awakening to happen among those who aren't beta testers....quote> Yeah lol. Like the other posters, I can't elaborate on the details either.. but the public at large is in for a shock

Put it on Impulse. Impulse has much faster download speeds (especially on launch day of games) and has a technology called Impulse Reactor that developers can integrate into their game to enhance online features. Impulse also has GOO which is an unobtrusive anti-piracy measure that encrypts the game executable with your user details.

Personally, I think they should should release the game through the Impulse platform as well as physical boxed copies in store. Impulse is similar to Steam with some advantages. Firstly and most importantly, download speeds from Impulse far exceed those on Steam, especially for new releases on release day. Secondly, Impulse uses an anti-piracy method called GOO which is almost transparent to the user and yet fairly tough to crack (game executables are encrypted with your user details). Just my $0.02.
