I hope this doesnt go the way of crusader kings. I never saw that game in any Canadian store at any time. I never even saw it listed with Strategy first. The last paradox game I saw on release date was HOI (not HOI2) since then Paradox games have been increasingly harder to find in Canadian stores.

Paradox and Strategy First parted ways many years ago.......

And not so nicely from what I understand.

So Im not the only one who thinks this. I basically just said the same thing in Coreymass's other thread. Paradox has grown a nice nich in the market and has made a name for itself. You would think it would be easier to find the games in stores but it seems to be the complete opposite?

When I found HOI1 it was before we even had dedicated video games stores like EBgames in my area. Now we have them all over the place like coffee shops (read starbucks) and yet they dont carry the games, or if they do its well after release.

Stange :confused:

Question to those that ordered it through Pdox. How long did it take to get to you via snale mail. Im thinking if I order it today and if it gets processed tomorrow (at the earliest) it would still be a week before I see it at my door. That feels like an eternity...lol.

I still dont have mine - I was excited when they said the P-dox orders had been shipped. But turns out I should have bought it at the store.

I thought I saw one of the paradox team or moderator list that "strategy Worst.. err first" would be the canadian distriputor for EU3. And that was how the quote was listed, er might have been [cough] but you get the idea.

I've bought EU1, Eu2, CK and Vikki at EB in Regina. They have HOI2 on the shelf I imagine they will stock EUIII.

The disturbing thing in my mind is that over the last 5 years, PC games have gone from 1/3 of the store shelf space to maybe 1/12. from a retailer's perspective, PCs have lost the platform wars. I dont think its a Paradox specific issue.

I've actually seen CK and all the other Paradox games at EB, prior to their limiting PC titles... Doomsday is even for sale at the one in Richmond Hill - I saw it the other day... :eek:

What store? I have called every major store that carries computer games on the west coast EB, Futureship & Best Buy [both are owned by the same company but I thought i'd see from both], & nobody has it listed. Amazon.ca doesnt have it listed nor does strategy first. I don't think it even been released in canada.

They do eventually carry them but they take their sweet time doing it. I finally saw HOI2 DD on the shelf but that was like 6 months after I bought off GG.

Sorry for what turned out to be a tease.

I was just grumpy my CE didnt arrive from Paradox Direct. I havent been out to any of the stores yet.

But I can tell you the new downtown Vancouver location of future shop had Diplomacy on release day and they have a large selection of PC titles. Maybe try there.

I saw HOI at EB games in whitehorse yukon once. One copy tho, and Im sure thats all they ordered. Never another Paradox title at that, or any other EB games stores. Just HOI. Guess WW2 Sells.

And ya it seems EB went the way of consoles, and PC games are very minimilsed. Oh right and Blame Canada...

EB certainly has changed. I remember seeing EU1 in my local EB here in Oshawa back in 2001. I remember picking the box up, reading the back and going..."wow this is the game I've been waiting for."

P'Dox games were fairly easy to find in EB...until Victoria. From Vickie on down it went downhill pretty quickly. Yeah, I have seen Doomsday and Diplomacy but pretty sporadically and long after release dates.

And, as others have pointed out, EB is now only dedicating a tiny portion of their shelf space to PC games. In the end, no amount of 3D GFX and snazzy covers are going to entice new buyers if the stores don't carry it.

Im only a few blocks from that store (at work) so I took a walk in the pouring rain and against my better judgement at giving future shop any money. Well at least I dont feel guilty, they didnt have it. They dont even have it in their system so who knows if they're planning on stocking it. For a second there I thought I saw it but it turned out to be Civ4.... box is the same color and looks similar from a distance.

On the other hand they had five rows of WoW, and just about as many for every version of BF2! :rofl:

Bah... Im going with the Gamersgate. At least Pdox gets more money this way.
