HA! Thanks for the link, LMAO!!!!! You know why it was delayed? BECAUSE OF THE MANUAL!!!

Well, it's irritating, but it's not the end of the world. I was looking forward to picking up Victoria after work, but I guess I'll go grab Knights of the Old Republic instead. That should keep me entertained until Strategy First gets the game to EB.
That being said, I've gotta agree with those who like Matrix games. I've been quite impressed with the stuff they've published. I'd love to see a Paradox-Matrix deal or see Paradox self-publish like Battlefront, but I figure if Paradox was really upset with Strategy First they'd find someone new. So either they haven't found anyone else willing to publish thier games in the US or they like SF.

Sign me up -- and don't forget the problems SF had with *their intro program* with EU1
And, in my case, this may well impact my decision to buy Victoria sometime before the end of the year. I run a retail store, so after Thanksgiving I won't have any time to play anyway. I certainly would have bought the game this week -- after this week we'll just have to see.

I dont think this is the fault of SF since gogamers and cdromshop.com have the game. Blame EBGames instead.
Yeah, SF said they ship it on Nov 18. It doesn't mean it will be in stores on the same day. It may take a few days to reach the shelves. Don't pit the blame on SF for that.
Have patience and don't form lynch mob yet!
no,don't petition,we poor souls in the desert can only get paradox games through strategy first please don't petition it,i won't be able to get the game if the peition goes through
Alright I know im not American and wouldnt get the SF version. Add to the fact that I just think Americans are bein impatiant (its only like 12 hours late).
Il still sign this as it might effect the UK and enable direct orders for wonderful Paradox

19th to the 21st........48 hrs, and even that dates is not confirmed - hell they got the 19th wrong...so why not the 21st
Cheers, Ice
Yet another good point...direct ordering would also relieve some of the stress on those players in countries either lacking a publisher, or that have publishers who are inexorably slow. As long as you know English, the version directly from Paradox should do just fine.
What exactly does Startegy First do to justify their (substantial) cut of the profits? It's sure as hell not advertizing, and its obviously not packaging and delivering their product to the stores. At the very least Paradox needs to renegotiate their contract and keep the lions share of what they pay SFI now. Or give the job to a troop of red-assed baboons, they couldn't really do much worse.
Breaking a deadline you set yourself and not having the consideration to tell anyone about it is the height of unprofessionalism, yet its also SFI's M.O. when it comes to Paradox games.
It's not EB's fault, unless they secretly control every software and game store in Northeast Ohio (and appearantly much of the rest of the US as well). The fuck-ups are coming from the distribution end, and that means Strategy First.
If I could cut the middle men out of the picture and order straight from Paradox, I'd do it in a second. I hate to think of these incompetant asses getting my money.

Had it shipped on the 18th, my EB would have it by now, and they're still waiting for it. No one to blame but SF....againOriginally posted by bmk1st

SF, thanks for investing in Paradox in the first place but you treat them as if they are still a high risk developer not worth the investment. Don't you think they have earned better?
Someone threw out the idea of Pradox going to Matrix. I am a big fan of both. If Matrix Games and Paradox teamed up they would be unstoppable!
Sign me up.

My EB claimed that they have not received it yet, and the error was not on their end. I do know that I will not be buying any game of marginal interest to me, if published by SF. Paradox is the only product line I am willing to impaitently wait for. No other game will I buy from them.
