Firaxis makes the news again!

Probably switch all games to a subscription model.

A subscription model?

I didn't see anything on their website, but I wonder if they have a need for a network security admin who has experience working for a Fortune 50 company? I wouldn't mind spending some more time on the east coast

Hmm. What will happen to smaller companies like Firaxis when piracy becomes rampant (more so than it is now)? How will they cope with the drop in sales?

They will switch to democracy or republic

I already loved the Firaxis company and wanted to work for them someday as a game designer before I read this article because the name Firaxis is cool, the games they make are cool, and they have Sid Meir, who is very cool! Now that I have read this, I have even more respect for them and feel like I like the company Firaxis as a friend. I have gone beyond simple respect..... I want to start a Firaxis fan club!

A subscription model?

Like the MMO games where you pay every month to keep playing.

Oh, right. Perhaps. I figured that would happen anyway with or without the piracy issue lowering profits. Not that I'm paricularly a fan of the idea though.

Wow, I didn't realize that's where they are located! That's 5 minutes from my house!!!

Too bad I'm a Chemist instead of a programmer

Maybe I'll stop by and see King Sid
