$500,000 mark surpassed by SEIV
Quote:
Cary, NC, October 31, 2002
Shrapnel Games announced today that the Space Empires IV Gold has surpassed the one half million dollar mark in internet sales. To mark this momentous occasion, Shrapnel Games is releasing a Commemorative Space Empires IV Gold digital art print. Additional details and ordering info are located at http://www.shrapnelgames.com.
Timothy W. Brooks, President of Shrapnel Games, said, "This is truly a momentous occasion and proves that our business model works. A PC game from one of the large publishers, available through retail stores, would be considered a success at one half million dollars in sales. The Space Empires IV franchise from Malfador Machinations achieved this almost exclusively through Online sales. The truly exciting aspect of this is that Space Empires IV Gold is still selling at record rates. Our next announcement will be when we surpass the one million dollar mark, which we believe we can do within 18 months."
Richard Arnesen, Director of Covert Operations for Shrapnel Games, said, "Space Empires IV Gold is a special game with a thriving and active community. It is because of this community that we have achieved these sales numbers."
The Commemorative Art Print and Space Empires IV Gold are available for ordering at the Gamers Front website at http://www.gamersfront.com.

WAY TO GO PEOPLE!
You can't help but wonder what all of us have brought to the table to help this game. The mods, the ship sets, the forum, all of it to make SEIV achieve this level of sales.
That is fan dedication to say the least. I guess Aaron knew this all along, and that is why he has supported this game so well.
I sincerely hope, and believe it will happen, see SEIV reach the $1,000,000 mark.

Re: $500,000 mark surpassed by SEIV
12,500 copies sold ain't bad at all! And i'd guess about half of that's from word-of-mouth promotion. Anyone know what SEIV Classic hit in sales?

Re: $500,000 mark surpassed by SEIV
I thought that amount also included SE4 classic. If those numbers are just for the Gold Version, then it's more amazing then I thought....
