Will there be booth-babes at the fan meetup? I'm opposed to them.

If by booth babes you mean girls just planted there to look pretty and lure people in.. Those are VERY unlikely to appear. (I think it's more a division of HOW strongly people are opposed here, than of whether or not they are)

On the other hand, there's a number of handsome, rugged men working at this company, so beautiful ladies are bound to be attracted to the fan meetup :nod:

Will any of you be dressed up in some way, like wearing armor? Everyone loves armor!

You could always have "product experts"... I think that's what some North American auto-show booth-babes are called. They're basically models standing there looking pretty and trying to lure people in, but first they have to be educated on their subject.

Or sometimes they like the subject and already know about. Some of them even work for the companies as something other than being pretty.

pretty sure Artfox will wear his chain-mail tie at least or i will be disappointed.

The whole concept of booth babes is pretty retarded, especially for something like games. Now, I absolutely love cosplay and such and realize that getting someone who has a deep knowledge of the game might not look like a good Agent 47, or night elf (or that the actual team actually wants to do this) so, anyway that kind of stuff I strongly approve of, but just having people in skimpy outfits and not in character is just dumb, especially if you don't have people there who can talk about the deep stuff and sell the game. Luckily everyone at paradox is smokin' so we are good, although we could do with more cosplaying!

When you guys release a new game or DLC, do you have a steam account page where you can press F5 over and over again to watch the money and orders roll in.

There are such pages, but there is some delay in seeing figures. Generally after a new game or DLC is out Johan will write down the current sales numbers on this big whiteboard we have in the middle of the office and keep updating it so everyone can see how things are going.

So "The Republic" dlc currently stand at what on the whiteboard?

Booth-babes are not there for gamers; they are there for Dad...

Well I could put on a skimpy outfit, but really no one wants to see that. :blush:

Don't tell me what I do and don't want. I expect to see you in a scandalously insubstantial mankini.

I finally have an explantion for the success of the norse.
Everyone was simply starting to laugh really hard when they heard their battle cries, dropped their swords and forgot fighting them.

Wink wink, because of booth babes

He seriously has one of those?

And hey guys, just give up the booth babe thing, okay? It's stupid and I'm glad that PDS is better than such idiocy.

Where can I buy PDS t-shirts and other game-related goodies if there are any ?
