Spindoktor Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 35k sales first week? Nice. I want to play on that big screen setup. I can't imagine how cool a big space battle would be.
Supreme Cmdr Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Posted September 24, 2005 Actually those numbers are incorrect and I've asked that the article be corrected. Yeah, it was wicked on the big screen.

John Prezioso Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Regardless of numbers, I have to say the game is a success. Now bring on Next Gen!
Guest Remo Williams Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Wow now thats a big Screen! Heh, looks like I'm not the only one showing a little gray these days.
shihminhao Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Just imaging play UCAWA in this BIG SCREEN...

Plus, thats not now the numbers work. I don't get $30 a copy because you have to factor in COGs (cost of goods), e-commerce partner cuts (which range from 30% to 50% depending on who it is). I wrote a soapbox article on how the math works. Sure, we make a lot more money with e-commerce digital distribution than with traditional publishers, but without the risk of being stiffed. ps: We got an offer last week from IGN's Direct2Drive service and the contract should be final by this coming week; which will see the game on there around the first week of October!! That should be a serious sales boost, given the size and exposure of the IGN network. quote:Originally posted by Remo Williams: Wow now thats a big Screen! Heh, looks like I'm not the only one showing a little gray these days. Pah! I'm going bald too. Good thing I usually keep my hair cut low. I was due for a hair cut (which I had this past weekend), so my bald spot is a little prominent in one of those shots. But not as bad as my old buddy (and fellow IGDA board member), attorney Tom Buscaglia (the big guy to my right, in one of the photos).

Just an off-topic side note: My mom started chemotherapy for breast cancer four weeks ago. Rather than waiting for her hair to fall out, she grabbed the razor and shaved her head. She told me the stubble started coming out last week, but she just shrugged it off as "oh well." She's one tough lady.
