Bought it online. Call me old-fashioned, but I still like to “physically” own the game itself as well. Not to mention the fact of having a printed manual (find myself often reading the background story to - for example - Master of Orion III again).

Having said all that, I’m hoping for them as well !

Any reason you didn’t buy it online via Steam, Toscho? Sounds like they might actually make some money finally with Defcon given what you’re saying about the demand for physical shipments. I think they’ve been running pretty close to the bone, despite the awards Darwinia got. Here’s hoping for them!

Oh my, they really seem to have been taken with the pants down. Got this mail today :

“… Due to the un-precedented demand for DEFCON, shipping is taking longer than usual, and we are asking for you to bear with us as we catch up. Orders may take as long as a month to get dispatched, but rest assured we are working day and night to solve the problem.”

I think Introversion just found out what “Matt’s Approval” means The release of Defcon was just an hour ago and look :

“… Unfortunately this has overloaded the system, so we have temporarily disabled the store.”

On this note, it appears one of the motion picture studios is developing a sequel to Wargames about what happens when WOPR is scheduled to be removed/replaced.

I am curious how many peoples’ heads this would go completely over if you didn’t mention that it was a movie. I saw “Global Thermonuclear War” in my RSS feed and immediately thought of a young |-|4X0r Matthew Broderick using his 1200 baud modem and accoustic coupler to start world war 3.

We ought to rename each of the continents as cities of Achaea and have the Patrons duke it out.
