OT: GalCiv to release a Free Expansion Pack

SE4 Gold (just gold) hit the $500,000 mark about a year ago, actually.

If it was in retail, MM would have gotten something like 5% (or less) of that. I do not know how much they get with the current Online model, but it is much, much higher.

Which may be one reason they can afford to pay closer attention to the nuts like us who play the game and pester them with advice and comments.

If you want to cheat, then edit the game files to give your race the advantage or disadvantage.

I often hate games that allow people to cheat so easily. At least in SEIV its an option and not always on. I love being scared that the AI will attack one of my planets and I am powerless to stop them.
