I'd presonally want something like "This isn't going to be Star Control 2 in 3D so please stop asking for features that make it that" But that's a bit long winded :P

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="19" id="3605095"] Not true! Not true! Blizzard and EA still have boxed copies of PC games. I always see all of Blizzard's games at Target and WalMart. Stardock isn't Blizzard, though. [/quote] The only reason Blizzard happens to be in stores is because its part of Activision And Activision needs retail to move the new Call of WhateverTheHellThisYear because they'll be releasing it

[quote who="drcdcs" reply="14" id="3604677"] Didn't they partner up with other publishers for markets in Europe? [/quote] GalCiv3 got a retail release in Kalypso BUT 1) It was like 5 months post release 2) it was because Kalypso put up the money for translations, and thus got the retail rights in return for doing that. And in Europe retail physical boxes are still inexplicably popular. While in America you couldn't find a boxed copy of a PC game if yo

[quote who="drcdcs" reply="10" id="3604620"] Well I guess its a good thing then that Stardock is also a publisher that has the prior experience with retail releases of their own games as well as others like demigod and sins. Lol[/quote] They also have experience bypassing retail all together. Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion was pure digital. And it was a HUGE success http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-26-stardock-to-ditch-boxed-releases-after-sins-of

[quote who="drcdcs" reply="4" id="3604121"] I'm not sure how a limited-run physical release would hamper them in anyway. Still, it was just a request, nothing more. I'd love to have a boxed copy, and I know I'm not the only one. [/quote] I'm simply outlining the limitations of doing so. And the fact that there's almost zero financial benefit to them for making a boxed copy. "Limited" boxed release has its own set of problems. And I&#39

given their recent history I would say no retail releases hamper them and their latest games have shown that it's simply not necessary to be in retail to succeed. They would rather trade off the flexibility of release dates and be free of the shackles of retail. i do know that Galciv3 got a euro retail release but that was I believe because they outsourced various translations to that publisher.

I hope its not a Mass Effect styled exploration.....

[quote who="dogchainx" reply="2" id="3603856"] Hmm...not sure I like the idea of no wrap-around and it being just an out-of-bounds area, but then again, I haven't played it. Is there a possibility of a ship being "cornered" in the out of bounds area? If so, will that affect game play negatively? Just food for thought (from someone who hasn't seen anything yet!) [/quote] I suppose if the area is big eough its not that big of

Should I be terrified that there is such a thing as Star Control porn???? What is it... is there a script we should be reading? Is that canon? What exactly are the Spathi doing in their spare time...

Yeah! All my google docs hacking paid off I mean...uh.. congrats to all 'random' participants that were selected [e digicons]*_*[/e]

The emails are going out! Well then... time to check my email!

[quote who="Embird" reply="61" id="3602908"] If it is going to be released through Steam then I am not interested. I have Galciv3 via Steam. My computer crashed and now I cannot get it again through steam. [/quote] All you need to do is reinstall steam, log into your old account, and download the game. the only way you can't get your game is if you log into the wrong account, which people often do while insisting they don't have an alt.

[quote]Why Towson? In one of the quirks of the game industry, Towson Maryland is ground zero of a good chunk of the PC game industry. Firaxis is here. Bethesda is here. Big Huge Games is here. Zynga was here. So much PC game history was made in this little town (Microprose and its successors).

I've filled in the survey. So who exactly do I need to murder.. I mean how do I skip the queue... I mean... am I accepted yet? :) on a bit of a side note, assuming I'm not 100% sure if I filled in the survey fully, if I fill it in again would that be a bad thing? I'm not tryin gto vote stuff (though that would be a fun thing to do...) I just want to make sure I'm doing what I can to be accepted appropriately. I mean aside from hacking Survey Monk
