I'm gonna send Blair a shaver so he doesn't have to beg people to buy his game

I am curious about the closing words - we've been told that there will be a retail box hitting stores once all 3 are done which was more than a rumor (Zoooooombaaaaaa!).. is that not going to be the case anymore?

Good info. Shaving is over-rated, though.

Not unless he's going for the Gandalf look.

Also, when'd you guys hire your 10th?

About a month ago

Haha, well congrats on growing your team by over 10%!

So if it doesn't get bundled... why not?

And just because isn't an answer.

Too low ROI for creating a boxed copy?

Just curious.

Love the new info about Starbase Logistics being a new research sink and the lack of tactical slots being a requirement for construction.  My interest is still piqued by this mysterious 'heavy construction ship' however.

Also, with the available upgrade types listed for the TEC starbase, I have to say I'm tempted to see one constructed with just trade upgrades for some mega-income gatherer purpose.

We haven't made any official announcements about a retail expansion. Right now we're focused on the micro-expansions.

well. then you might want to be a bit more careful on communication here. while forum posts are of course by no means official announcement, a response from a stardock official does seem kind of ... binding. especially, if it is issued several times. don't get me wrong, I don't mind, but contradictory information will always come back and bite you, even more so, if no reasons for them are given.

Oh well, I've interpreted that as official, but since it's not, Annatars new line should be maybe, eh?

I still blame Zoomba. But yeah, can't really post that they'll be bundled anymore

I want an Ironclad t-shirt.

Don't we all.

why does that comment flash ideas of groupies, dev teams on tour with herds of screaming nerds into my mind? guess I really do have a repraved personality.

but then: it would interesting to see how much money the guys could with merchandise. maybe it ends up like star wars with all the extra stuff and licensing making more cash than the original product.

I want to see the pictures that they mentioned of Josie

"After being met at the door by Josie, who some of you may recall from her incredible Sins outfit at PAX"

What outfit????
