Que must be happy w/ this news.
Stardock will return w/ another Galac Civ 2 expansion, which will be Twilight of Arnor.
It's due out by the end of 2007. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6177061.html)

Looks like I definitely have to pick this one up.
-
So when does it come out? I was starting to get pissed that I paid them like 8 months ago for this?

I don't see it listed anywhere online for retail stores (EB, BB, Amazon, etc etc).
Come to think of it, I ain't even heard anything about it going Gold to retail stores yet.
Stardock's site (digitally, disc, or BOTH) (http://www.galciv2.com/Purchase.aspx) seems like the only place selling it right now.

I dont believe they have any plans for a retail release. Just through them direct.

Do you think it's possible they'll just sell it on their site for a while and then maybe after selling it exclusive from their site for a while, they might sell some at retail ?

Why don't we all just use our psychic powers to find out the answer to an unanswerable question.

Well, I mean -- has Stardock done it before?
Release the game first through them exclusively?
Then eventually, let it hit the outlet sometime later??

Couldn't tell you. I don't even know if the last expansion saw a retail release. I've always bought from Stardock since you can get the game downloaded and have a copy shipped to you at the same time (though I didn't do that with Sins because they wanted like $10 for shipping or something utterly ridiculous... which pissed me off a bit).

I know a Galac Civ 2: Gold Edition (come w/ Dread Lords and Dark Avatar) did get retail release.
I am not sure if Dark Avatar expansion got a solo retail release.

I do like that idea. That's pretty cool.
I wish Steam did something like that.

Well, this expansion must be out. It was in my My Games list so I downloaded it. Haven't had a chance to play it yet. Honestly, I don't know if I'd notice the difference. I never played the original, only the first expansion and I only played one game. I wonder if I'll even notice the additions.
I wanted to get Sins of a Solar Empire, but it is still $45.

Get Sins at retail. It's like $30 or something.
