i owned the boardgame, some guys wanted to convert it, i quit my job as a consolegames programmer, moved home.. rest is history.

Since Philippe Thibault is now a part of Paradox, have you guys talked at any length?

Has he told you what he thinks of the EU series?

I'd love to know if he enjoyed it or appreciated the effort you guys have put into it.

Funnily enough..

EU:Rome when i meet random people at the pub.

or Hearts of Iron (any of them) I keep running into people wanting to talk about it at weird places.

That if someone has not registered a game, he's extremely likely to not have bought it.

WOW! I'm one of unique ones!

Fredrik doesn't have a Golden Platypus yet, why?

Is he waiting to see if Vicky 2 makes a profit before he gets one?

 

[Kaleidoscope]

When you guys release a game do you look forward to playing it for fun, or after months of working on it for 8+ hours a day are you more relieved to see the back of it?

Depends.

Expansions are usually very fun from day #1, as its just about refining and adding features.

Some games were insanely fun near the release, like EU:Rome which was great in MP.

You need to brush up on your OT Forum History.
