Re: Greetings! :-)
The people at Shrapnel have looked into the retail option several times, and each time decided not to do it. It usually ends up that the price of the games stays the same or goes up, and the return for Shrapnel and the developers is reduced significantly. The employees probably wouldn't hesitate saying "Retail screws developers", since it does. So about the only store you might see SEIV in is a used-game store. Now I said *MIGHT*, it still isn't likely

Re: Greetings! :-)
It's simple. The reason so many games suck are are rushed is because of mainstream retail. Mainstream retail is destroying strategy and wargaming for the PC as we know it.
However, do expect to see our games at hobby shops near you in the future.
EB sucks BTW.

Re: Greetings! :-)
Electronics Boutique, a store pretty much completely devoted to video games (I've seen one that also stocked a few video cards... I mentioned it to my dad, and the sales guy overheard and said "WHOA!! I thought that was just a cool game..." He was serious.)
I haven't bought anything there becasue... well, I haven't bought that many games, period.

Re: Greetings! :-)
Duh...
that's right, he can be taught!
In fact, I know of an Electronics Boutique in my area, now that I think of it. Can't recall if I ever bought a game there though. The smaller-sized computer game retailers all look alike to me.
