Impulse Adds Bethesda Back Catalog, Will Not Include Future Steamworks Releases
by Brian Leahy, Jul 27, 2010 6:20pm PDTStardock has added some Bethesda back catalog games to its digital storefront, offering gamers a chance to buy Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Many of the titles are available in "Game of the Year" or deluxe versions that include expansion packs or DLC.
- Bethesda Games on Impulse
- Fallout 3 - $29.99
- Fallout 3 GotY Edition - $49.99 - Includes all five DLC packs
- Oblivion GotY Edition - $19.99 - Includes Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion
- Oblivion GotY Edition Deluxe - $24.99 - Includes all DLC and the Shivering Isles expansion
- Morrowind GotY Edition - $19.99 - Includes both expansions
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - $19.99
Fallout: New Vegas will not be sold through Impulse as it uses Valve's Steamworks for DRM as Stardock's policy to not sell Steamworks titles, despite the growing frequency of it as DRM for high-profile PC games, has not changed.

Fallout 3 is a games for windows live title, which means Fallout 3 installs the GFWL software automatically, right? And the GFWL overlay/software/etc. is pretty much the same as Steam as in it's a portal to the GFWL store. Am I understanding this correctly? If I am, how the hell is GFWL any different than steam?
This is all beside the fact that Brad Wardell has his head way up his own ass and fails to realize that PC gamers buying AAA titles from digital download services will just look elsewhere to purchase the game if Stardock doesn't carry it. Way to drive potential customers away. Keep up the great work.

I prefer using the Steam library as a "games desktop", and have it set to open automatically instead of the store.
