Can not stay out of the playroom today it has changed things. At one time there were cabs and had to gallop up to the nearest local to play at an affordable price, this is no longer even need to leave home to buy a title just came out. This possibility has certainly opened a new avenue for the distribution of data and platforms like XBLA, Steam and App Store took the opportunity in advance.
Obviously the world has followed the trend once proved successful and now GameStop got the hint and moved with reasonable force to recover the lost ground. The videogame retailer has in fact acquired Spawn Labs which specializes in streaming technology and has also purchased Impulse, Inc., which is the platform for digital distribution created by Stardock.
The acquisition includes the entire staff and puts the entire management in the hands of GameStop, but Stardock has already announced that there will be no redundancies will adverse effects in people using the Impulse client.
