More "Ask Sid" Q&A

Yeah, makes sense I suppose. Have to say, I think Firaxis could do worse than to take a leaf out of Paradox's book when it comes to communicating with fans. Is the Q&A confirmed as a fortnightly thing?
 
Question: I am a huge fan of Civ 4. When can we expect the release of Civ 5?

Sid: Well, we’ve just wrapped up the Civ IV series with the release of Civ IV: Colonization, which seems to be a hit. And we recently released Civ IV: Complete for anyone who is interested in getting Civ IV, the two expansions and Colonization all on one disc (and DRM free). We have always said that if the fans want more Civ we’ll keep making more. We’ll take your email as another vote for more Civ and let you know if there is any news to report.

If you want to ask Sid a question, send an email to webmaster@firaxis.com. Put "Ask Sid" in the subject line. Please note that we cannot answer all questions submitted to this forum. Due to the quantity of "Ask Sid" emails we recieve, we ask that you please refrain from sending us new game ideas.

Come on guys, lets make some noise! Start sending those emails to them!
 
I don't see anything either. On a related note does anyone know if dshirk is still Firaxis' webmaster? I heard he got promoted.
 
No new ones this month... shame. Firaxis is awfully quiet with any real news these days.
 
I like the dinosaur thing. Now that would be cool. If you started with them, and if they "die out", and eventually come back through cloning....
 
it makes me quote a Dylan song:

"Don't ask me nothing about nothing: I just might tell you the truth"
 
guessing the complete silence from Sid means Civ V is still quite a while away huh?

I'm sort of baffled as to how the company is functioning without and income at the moment... surely pretty much all the games that have been released have sold as much as they are going to?
