SEIV GOLD Rebate

[Growltigga]

does the fact that SE Gold is coming out mean that there will be no more patches after 1.49?

sounds like a cunning way to get another £50 from all the die hard fans to me!

The gold will have patchs. The standard most likely will not.

Actually sounds like a way to keep Malfador and Shrapnel from going out of business.

I wish we could support titles forever but with the way the U.S. economy is and slow sales that just isn't possible.

Let's see, Other games that went gold and you had to buy, they also offered rebates if you sent the orginal cd back.

SimCity 3000 (SimCiy 3000 gold) Had to buy to get new features.

Civ2 (Civ 2 Gold)

Ages of Empires Gold

I am sure I can find others out there if I looked around.

Absolutely a fair comment, don't get me wrong, I certainly dont begrudge any new SEIV product and will certainly buy the gold edition when it comes out - being in the UK however, buying overseas tends to get expensive when you add in import duty and the like - it is a pity there are no ways round that

There are probably loads, the 'Gold' branding generally seems to imply 'a few new features and incompatible with the existing game'.

I think MM should break the mold and not call it SE Gold, I do like the Depleted Uranium/Tungsten concept but how about 'Space Empires Tupperware edition'?

If this were the case, I doubt Dogscoff would have 'Dogscoff can't wait to go tupperware'at the bottom of his postings
