[quote]I can believe it. Many people aren't aware of it, but games are a huge business.[/quote] This may be true if you are one of the lucky few, but game development is also a tremendous risk. MOST games don't make a profit. Yes, I said most. Its easy to throw around figures and 'hate the man', but the realities of development are far from perfect realitive to other industries requiring equivilent skillsets. Fortunately there are a lot of very passionate people making games

Reply to The Three Expansions... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

That is a cool idea HewCP. So cool that we tried it out a loonnng time ago in the early SINS days. We used to play a board game that had revolving planets and we thought it would provide an interesting element in video game form. Unfortunately the reality was very different. The game became very disorientating - transfering the successful player's skillset from strategic decision making to visual aptitude. :)

It may be running but you cant see it. Try a few things. Right click its tab and try to maximize or restore. Go to the task manager and try switching to the program. If that doesnt work find it in the program list and shut it down, then try to open it again. This happens to me once in a while.

Reply to Prepaid for Entrenchment. When is beta available? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Busterzperson, the funds are only deducted when it is released. Its likely you're looking at something else. Sorry we don't have a date for the beta release. We aren't going to give quite as much advanced warning this time due to the negative feedback when we had to push it ahead last time.

Reply to Most epic, hard or awe-inspiring Sins battle you've ever played in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I had a rare early advance on Blair and wiped out his homeplanet. He had a suped up KOL that kept raiding my fringe planets for a good portion of the game. I couldn't seem to catch him for the longest time. Everytime I hunted him down he would zip out of the grav well and move on to raid further grav wells. It felt great when i finally cornered him and watched the cap ship explosion close up [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
