Default Canadian buyers who are on the fence...

Guys,

As you know we already have distributors in different countries who carry our games. We are also now very close to signing a deal with compusmart to start carrying our titles, but they are on the fence. If you are interested in helping us let them know that folks would love to have a local alternative to buying SE4 in Canada, then you might want to send them an email asking why they don't stock our products .

Just my tip to you guys .

Also, stop buy the store themselves and ask them to carry the game. Going in person carries more weight as it can't be brushed off with a delete key.

Richard,

This is good news. Could you let us know the outcome of your efforts on this forum and in the strategic newsGroups? (In case I forget to check one or the other)

I will contact CompuSmart as well.

There is a similar discussion over at Matrix Games about the availabilty of STUN in Canada.
While our market may be small relative to the USA, I think both games may be missing excellent opportunites by not having a Canadian distributor.

We shipped our first shipment to them, but we'll be making a larger announcement next week.

Right now we have:

Chips and Bits
Store 4 War (France)
Strategic Plus (UK)
Compusmart (Canada)

Too bad I already ordered my copy of SE:IV Gold Last month. I might have been able to save some money on the shipping! Oh well...I can still get my rebate for my original copy so I guess it all balances out.
