$$ and games sold counter?

February 4, 2008 2:35:33 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Okay, i know its a somewhat stupid and shallow/materialistic idea..
But i would really love it if the old pre-order countdown at the top was replaced with some sort of $$ counter (or units sold), showing in real time as ppls pre-orders and purchases get processed. lol!

Something like, tick, tick, tick... One million dollars, five million, one BILLION..
Because frankly, i hope its growing to be a huge number. You all (IC and SD) deserve it. You deserve our cash for what you are doing to both the game scene and the way you work as a publisher.
Such service, forum presence, and support has never been matched before. Well done!

one BILLION
  

I think it's an interesting idea and the sales figures may not be too bad to show off. It's possible that information may fall under confidentiality though.

I doubt they would add a cash counter, seems a bit boastful even for a company

Although I *fully* agree with you, I hope this is a huge cash cow for them because they have done a hell of a job! It ain't very often I purchase a game...this...I purchased! So well done again developers of sins!

well without disclosing exact figures, there are several milestones that companies generally do 'show off'

however as long as you guys have the big progress money bar in the office it's all good party below the huge screen, free rounds for every 1000 units sold. everyone going drunk n stuff.

just don't vomit into the distribution server mkay?
