$1200?
I think not. The kind of ad you describe would cost a lot more than that! These people who make the magazine need to eat as well!

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
It was a guestimate. Call them and ask how much.

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
PC Gamer mag just had a full page review of Starfury not to long back and I believe they did one for SE4 too. They gave Starfury a 80something% out of 100%. Which is fairy high praise. The only thing they thought was wrong with the game was some stablity issues and the long travel time between systems.

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
Actually, although Shrapnel is generally extremely good about sending out immediate press releases for every patch update and so forth, I think Shrapnel may not have done so this time. I don't see one in my email history.
The Wargamer news seems to have found it nonetheless - they mention it on this (linked) page.

No, it wasn't reasonable enough for me to believe it was factual. But that doesn't mean you didn't believe it to be factual.

i typed in 'space empires ship design' or 'space empires design' in yahoo. i was looking for another game where you could design ships, like stars!
kinda funny, now that i think about it.
at least, i think that's how i found it. that was a long time ago.

That is an excellent idea. You should email that to MM right now Greg. 
Maybe when I get home, AT. One of my coworkers is getting canned, mostly in part for doing personal e-mails at work. So I'm not taking that kind of chance. But feel free to do so yourself if I don't get around to doing it tonight. |

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
On the debate on cost of magazine ads.....
My Dad had a publishing company and the full page, full color ads those magazines back in the early 1970's was around 30,000 USD. Certainly not cheap.
Different industry that his mags had ads on but still....

Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
gone gold usually plugs shrapnels stuff, and im supprised that they didnt mention the latest patch - they have mentioned all the other. maybe i just missed it.
They did, however, announce the latest coleseum patch (text based gladiator management program) which they have had high praise for.

Wow! You either are seriously overestimating the cost of bandwith, or you have no clue what it costs to place an ad in a magazine. Or maybe you are just joking? Exageration for effect?
