Just curious to see how well the preorder push worked. I thought it was a really good idea. Was it worthwhile?

There have been threads about this and Paradox did not yet say anything about the numbers... a thumbs up or "its looking good" would be nice.....

It's looking good, however it's not a big business for us. We mainly look at this as a service for our members, being able to buy our games in places where they can't be found. Our experience with Victoria showed that some people couldn't buy it in their local shop.

there were already imports - set up by local stores (sourced in from the US) - for HOI,

imagine, a game goes from Sweden to US and back to Europe :wacko:

some customers were lost after EU2, advertisement should bring them back,

CK looks to be pure game play fun, :)

Yeah it's nice to be without the Vicky problem. I waited 8 days from the official release date before I finally ordered it from Betafon (online). Vicky didn't arrive in local shops before 1+ month after release.

So as long as Paradox makes more than they loose on providing this service I'm happy... :)
