I'm led to enquire - why would a game be released in September? I'd always heard that Sept is the worst month to ever release any new product, what with the holidays not yet here, fiscal year budgets tight, just over the back-to-school buying season...

Just curious really.

Thanks,

I'm not sure release month will make any difference for this game. It's not your typical computer game. It's not a shooter, or a RTS game. The graphics technology is not cutting edge, etc etc. I can't see that SE5 is going to be competing against any other game for market share.

I think the target market for SE5 is going to be receptive to it no matter what time of year it's released. The target market for an incredibly deep strategy game like this is people like you and me, who don't just play a game to "beat" it and then lose interest in a couple of weeks. If SE5 is any good we will be playing it and modding it for years and years.
