Well... since they had to learn that from Stardock themselves... we indirectly learned it from Stardock, Gamespot just passed on the news.

Joking aside, I've been really looking for forward to this beta... so it's good to know an exact date for it

Dang, I'm going to be out of town that week. I'm starting to feel like I'm going to be sick on the following Monday.

Interesting business question for Brad et al. Unless I'm missing something, the only news there to a regular reader here is the date. Seems like the kind of thing we usually see linked on the Galciv2 home page, where the SR2 teaser is now.

Maybe Brad's too busy madly scrambling to make that date!

scrambling to make that date


I've been around dev folks and I very much like the idea that they're too busy working on good code to bother telling more than three people when they expect to finish
