So what? Why didn't anyone else acquired them? Ageod went to Paradox. Why isn't it still there? I'd guess because it was a bad fit. According to Paradox, there isn't a market for turn based games, IIRC. So why did they even buy them?

Again - I really dont see the chasm in investing 1.5 hours or 2.5 hours into games of these magnitudes - someone who invests so little time into the games was never that interested in the first place and was never going to play them. I maintain - that ...

Well PON had a metacritic score of 70 and victoris one of 75 - so review wise there is not much difference - certainly not 20 times the difference - so it seems to me there were other things at play here - such as the paradox name and a certain "auto ...

the games are both good but the business model just was not appropriate. These detailed games are never going to sell to a mass market, but they do make money. They have their niche and this is where they need to stay. In their niche they can ...

In hindsight, the game should have been cancelled when we ...

<r> Some facts are not entirely correct.<br/>

PoN was never sold at 1.50$. It was at 4.95 several times when we had -75% off sales. The average amount of money we got for a game was about 13$ (after the distributor cuts). <br/>

CK2..hmmm Steam. My big issue with steam is me and my daughter share the same account so when she is on it I can't go on it..which is a pain. Would be cool if they let you separate the account into two and divide the games up..not sure if they do that though. CK2 I would ...

That is great! Asking the customer to fix their problem. Why not have these "serious" issues working when they release the game?

I got HOI 2 and after realizing the AI was weak beyond what words can describe, I talked to the guy who did the AI for the game and he said he was a part-timer who hardly spent any time on it. I tried to give him some tips on ...
