Thank you for searching first.

From what I gather, you can't buy this game at any retail outlet. So, you have to order it Online. Am I right or wrong? If you do that's ok, I'm just wondering.

Yes only Online. A few places but usually sending people to www.shrapnelgames.com takes care of it.

Second, if you can't buy it in a retail store, do you think it will ever be available that way? Just curious.

Its not all that unusual. A garage-project game is usually only available from the guys who make it (Dominions 1 was that way). Most dont get the attention of a publisher on their 2nd Version. A publisher like Shrapnel to take care of the CD's, orders, shipping, some advertising, etc. The way that the recognition is climbing a box on the shelves might happen with #3. That would be a very uncommon event but then Dom has been has been doing uncommon events.
