This game rocks my world. Best thing to happen in artificial space since Homeworld and Tie Fighter.

Maybe i’m lucky in a way to never have thought of Stardock as the Omega of the game industry then. But i do love them for a couple of reasons.

1: Absolutely positively no DRM.
2: They let their customers/gamers actively participate in the
development of their games and products, and they are
active on the forums, frequently answering the questions
of mere mortals.

Yes there is a second expansion coming out for GalCiv 2. So? The first expansion was, at least to me worth its prize. And you know you don’t have to by them, right? And you know that even if you don’t by the expansion, you get the benefits of their frequent updates anyway? I’m sorry for you that you lost 2 gaming tokens (10 $), for not spending them in time, and that you missed an email. That doesn’t make them evil, at least not in my eyes.

There was a time when i also tought that Stardock was the omega of the gamesindustry but then the marketingboys took over. Long live upgrades: on galciv2 its already the 3th installment for which you have to pay.
Last year Stardock robbed me trough Total Gaming Network from 2 tokens because i didn’t spent them in time. They said they sended me an email but i never got one and when i replied about it they simply didnt care about answering me.
I still buy from Stardock but i dont wonna go along anymore with the idialistic imagery of the company, they dont deserve it anymore

Ohle: If the major publishers don’t want it, it’s time to go to the medium/smaller ones. There are quite a few smaller publishers that would have no problems releasing the game all over Europe. The important thing is getting it out, and the more time that passes, the less likely it is that you’ll get a decent deal.

Very curious about this game, although I already lack time for all the games I want to play..

Isn’t this the best possible game for a good EVE mod?

About the publishing deal: EU publishing is tremendously important to Stardock and Ironclad… they shopped the game around to a number of major publishers and the concern — as mentioned above — was that those publishers didn’t think a space strategy game would be very popular. Hopefully now that the final is out, they’ll be proven wrong :). But please don’t go thinking that they’re holding off on publishing in Europe to ensure greater online sales. Retail sales are a very important facet of a major game release.

I’m holding out till I read an actual review.

Speaking of which… where is it already? I refuse to go online and find a review from another source, it must be an RPS review. Tell me whether the macro and micro balance satisfactorily!
