Default SEIV Only A Nitch Game

Why is SEIV such a nitch game after four years of success?

We all know Space Empires IV and have grown to love the game like no other over its four and half year run. Its success is evident by the number of new players we see here every day and with its victory over MOO3 and GalCiv, Space Empires IV has propelled itself into the top slot for 4x gaming.

Still even with this title SEIV is only a nitch game with a very very very small market share and small group of slowly growing fans.

Why is SEIV only a nitch game after four years of utter dominance in the 4x market? Well it can only be because it is such a nitch game that even with the great word of mouth by its fans, us, the growth of the game has is still stagnate.

What can be done to boost awaness of this great game is a valid question in my book. I guess the only things that can be done is to continue getting the word out and perhaps pester a game magazine or gaming site into doing a follow up on the success of this game.

SEIV is a nitch game that should not be one. It should be a main stream game by now because of all the great success it has enjoyed over the compition. In my book SEIV is one of the great 4x games ever made and even if no one else will acknowledge this, I know it in my heart.

So if you can email gaming sites, and game magazines about this game and continue to post here and in other forums about the wonders of SEIV.

Thanks for reading.
