Yes, lurkers, like me, who drop in a post only every so often, make up a large chunk. But, for statistics: PBW has 750 registered and perhaps 200 active Users. I also play Black and White, a bazillion-copy seller--and their forums have probably about the same number of actives, maybe 200. I think _that_ says a chunk. Perhaps more about the community, but any game that can create such a large community following is bound to be doing well.

Hi Richard!
May I ask you how many pieces of SE4 Shrapnel has sold? Or is this number a secret?
Thanks very much for the info.
bye

Kinda silly that a simple figure like number of games sold would be a secret, isn't it? I wonder what advantage the companies think they get by concealing this? After all, with music and books it's a point of pride to count how many units are sold and be ranked in the industry lists.

MM made a tongue-in-cheek reference to an RPG they are planning and a few hints at an SE4 Expansion Pack.

Hey Richard, What ever happen to my application with you guys?

We don't have any contract art work available right now.

Our work comes and goes as games come and go..
