After years of being told that PC gamers are really just console gamers but with different game controllers (mouse and keyboard) and that in-depth strategy was dying, we now have some conclusive evidence that no, that serious strategy games are alive and kicking.
Behold:
#1 at Gamespot:
#1 at IGN:
#1 at 1Up:
And what about sales?
#2 at Amazon.com, #3 at EBGames.com / Gamestop (And it sold out, they've replenished)
Why is this significant?
Because the reviews haven't hit yet. People are buying this game sight unseen despite relatively little coverage, PC gamers so much want a real time strategy game that has 4X depth that they are going out, en masse to find out more about this game and buying it.
You are making your voices heard. People who buy PC games may have consoles but they don't necessarily want their PC games to simply be ported console games or console-like games.
We thank you for your support! We hope we are living up to your expectations.
