Heck I recently played Doom I and II just for the heck of it
similarly I use SEIV as a strategy fix

I too am a new player...which by the way i did request a new avatar theme with a tiger ( I was thinking more of the Kilrathi from Wing Commmander ..hint hint)
Anyway, this game is such an Underground hit that it is surviving. Just imagine if it had the same support and distribution as the big games Ie: Moo and Reach for the stars ( what crap that was!)
Anyways if we can spread the word...about MM to retailers then we can help support...it that way
Peace out oh yea i want that avatar

Retail is bad, unless you are Blizzard or Maxis. Retail is only profitable if the game sells millions and millions of copies. And even then, the game designer/developer doesn't make much money. Selling it how they are selling it is much more profitable for Shrapnel Games and Malfador than going retail would have been.
