$1200?
I think not. The kind of ad you describe would cost a lot more than that! These people who make the magazine need to eat as well!

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
It was a guestimate. Call them and ask how much.

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
PC Gamer mag just had a full page review of Starfury not to long back and I believe they did one for SE4 too. They gave Starfury a 80something% out of 100%. Which is fairy high praise. The only thing they thought was wrong with the game was some stablity issues and the long travel time between systems.

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
Actually, although Shrapnel is generally extremely good about sending out immediate press releases for every patch update and so forth, I think Shrapnel may not have done so this time. I don't see one in my email history.
The Wargamer news seems to have found it nonetheless - they mention it on this (linked) page.

No, it wasn't reasonable enough for me to believe it was factual. But that doesn't mean you didn't believe it to be factual.

i typed in 'space empires ship design' or 'space empires design' in yahoo. i was looking for another game where you could design ships, like stars!
kinda funny, now that i think about it.
at least, i think that's how i found it. that was a long time ago.

Wow! You either are seriously overestimating the cost of bandwith, or you have no clue what it costs to place an ad in a magazine. Or maybe you are just joking? Exageration for effect?
