AFAIK impulse will be the steam activation version

Did not they say management of DLC will be integrated to the game instead of downloading endless spritepack as for EU3 ?
How? Impulse is Steams biggest competitor.

Not with paradox games or we would see people demanding impulse versions, it appears that Gamersgate is the bigger competetor, in the 10%

Pre-ordered !
I am not sure how long Steam has been offering Paradox games, but GamersGate was originally the only digital distributor that did. I bought EU3 through GamersGate in January 2007, had a good experience, and have remained a loyal customer. I suspect that this is a common story among folks who have been here for at a few years.

Indeed started to use digital retailer with EU3 on GG and remained loyal since then (was it not GG and Paradox the same company at the time ?)
Paradox did own GG but sold it some time ago.
"Sold" might give the wrong impression. As far as I know, GG is owned by itself. (In contrast to Impulse/Gamestop.)
More or less the same for me really, albeit a bit later.
Only used Steam for games that actually require steam, and will conteniue to do so for as long as i can

Im not sure if thats still true, but I read back then that old Paradox staff (Johan & co) kept some shares in GG after the sale. Maybe the old boys are still getting a cut of the action.
I preordered it here:

There's the answer. So I'd say it all depends on estimating how long patches will stay in beta.
Pre Ordered on GG
Pre ordered too
My point is why would impulse sell anything steam activated, they are competitors and that is basically giving the competition free advertisement.

I would think it would be following the idea that they cant outdo steam, so they get the money and dont need to foot the bandwidth (steam DLs it)

One question that came to mind today was with a preorder from GG and the download from GG, will PI put any expansion as Steam only?
AFAIK i dont think so, previously in the new internal patch thread they said they overcome the technical difficulties to use there new DLC system, sometime after that johan made a post about GG saying its existance depended on overcoming techincal difficulties, i assume from what i have read that they will have expansions for both.

If it's a Steam exclusive, I shan't be pre ordering it, let alone buying it.
