In 1998, Stardock was one of the first companies to distribute its software via a free digital distribution program known as Component Manager. Component Manager was one of the first digital distribution programs ever developed and therefore was quickly replaced with a more advanced version called Stardock Central. While Stardock Central had been in development since 2001, it got its biggest test in March 2003 when Stardock’s Galactic Civilizations was launched at retail and electronically at the same time. It was the first commercial PC game to debut both at retail and available for purchase and immediate download. Stardock Central allowed anyone who had purchased Galactic Civilizations at a retail outlet to enter their serial number into Stardock Central and re-download the latest full version of the game. Having developed Stardock Central to digitally distribute its own PC titles, Stardock launched a service in 2003 that would allow its users who paid a yearly subscription fee to receive new titles as they became available. Initially, Stardock's own titles along with titles from Strategy First were available but a year later Stardock replaced the subscription model with a new system allowing users to purchase third party independent games. In 2008, Stardock released a third-generation digital distribution platform called Impulse. Impulse is a state of the art digital distribution platform that allows users to quickly and easily find their favorite game or software and download it automatically to their PC. With years of development in the making, Impulse is the only digital distribution platform developed by gamers, for gamers. |
