Pre-ordered.  I still haven't even played GalCiv2 + Exp 1 yet.

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.
