Not really. I do have some sort of mental impairment/cognitive dysfunction/whatever that causes me to make reading mistakes like that, which I subsequently cannot spot unless someone points them out to me. It's part of the reason I had extra tuition in Swedish back in elementary school.Trip said:Case in point why they changed their name.
You wouldn't believe how long it took before I realized that there's no 'E' in "SVGA" ...

I used to think it was Infogames too, until a few years back.The Last Conformist said:

Well, as long as they didn't/don't sell it to Electronic Arts who then in turn shuts it down like they did with Subspace, we should be fine.

I don't think EA is interested. The sales of the Civ series to date just aren't in the league they want.

Firaxis hasn't announced a date yet, but my guess is late 2005.
It would be great if Firaxis bought the rights....

$23 million dollars - That's a lot of cash considering the sales of the Civ series.
I hear rumors that it was not Firaxis though...

I just pray to god EA doesn't buy them. Activision or someone like that might be alright, but god no not EA.

Truth is, I bought it. I've been saving up my allowance for years now, and it was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my wife. I can't believe they ruined the surprise by doing a press release!

"Hey honey, I bought you Civilization for Christmas."
"Oh really, I heard that game was good."
"Yeah, I got a great deal on it, it was only 25 million!"
You should drop by the forums more often Dan.
