Penny Arcade's First Look at GalCiv2

Published on December 5, 2005 By greywar In Gaming

Penny Arcade's Tycho Brahe has a brief take on the ongoing GalCiv2 Beta and his views on the future including a brief thought regarding Stardock's philosophy that I found to be dead on with my own opinion of Brad and his crew...

Excerpts for the linkistically challenged:

"GalCiv2 is, I think it accurate to say, en route to being the definitive star empire simulator."

"Stardock is focused on making a full-fat, no excuses, honking angular Imperial Throne for you to recline in and manage your worlds."

"They are pretty much telling the market gods to go f**k themselves."

I even edited out the profanity for the pansies...

They also said they'd be shocked if someone like Ubisoft ever started to use a digital distribution. When I pointed out to them that Ubisoft is a partner with TotalGaming they ignored me! How dare they!

I love the last line of the post

And Ubisoft has released a few games through Direct2Drive from IGN/GameSpy.

Ubisoft doesn't object to digital distribution. They object to digital distribution without hardcore DRM.
