The 2012 Stardock Customer Report

from Sins Forums

sdblue

Each year we send out a customer survey which many of you probably participated in, which asks our customers a variety of questions and gives us a look at our customer base and gives you a chance to give feedback that we can work with.  We take this data and look at it very carefully, and put together the results and share it with our community. 

Stardock’s President and CEO Brad Wardell presents the Customer Report and talks about where Stardock started, what we’ve been doing, and where we are going in the future.

Congratulations on a good year! It is encouraging to hear that Stardock is "in the black."

I love the fact that Rebellion is doing well. After a little over a year of playing Trinity I can confirm that it an awe-inspiring game. I am sure that when I purchose Rebellion in a few short weeks that I will be more than satisfied.

I am excited about certain hints concerning new announcements and investments into other "game developers" and the "next generation." Hopefully that includes ample investment of capital and personnel into either Stardock or a random developer in Vancouver for a certain highly anticipated game (hint: it's a sequel).

Here's to a successful 2013 5*

Does the success of Rebellion and Sins of a Solar Empire as a whole mean that we will be seeing a sequel sooner rather than later?

 

I hope so, but I would rather that Stardock and Ironclad take their time on the next Sins (not take a long time to get around to it, take a while to make it great). But I think Stardock has truly learned from and will never repeat the debacle launch of War of Magic again.

 

I am very glad Stardock did well last year and hope it continues to grow and become bigger, stronger, and more awesome as the years go by.

 

Good luck on your new games! Oh, and the Windows 8 stuff too.

The question is, why such a small building needs 2 stairways? 

Anyway, its good to hear about your financial success. Hopefully that means more Sins in the future.

So there jumping to 64bit first before multi-core? I think it would be fair approach and I'm happy there going to make an effort!

Nothing hurts more than having a capable machine that's limited by Os & game code-it really hurts :( .

Dafuq? That building on the pic? 

25000 sq ft is apparently 2323 square meters. The building has 2 floors, and the floor plan does not look to be more than 400 square meters. So 2 floors - 800 sq meters, where is the rest? Do you happen to have some underground floors like in Norad?  :D

I think you made a slight mathematical error: meters aren't square... They're Hexagonal.
That is all :)
