Well, not exactly. After all, I wouldn't want Paradox to let us in on all their secrets.

But I'd like to know... with the direct order option, is CK selling better than Vicky? Because I really feel that Paradox needs another "hit". EU2 was good, HoI was worthwhile, but since then it seems more like Disney "direct to video" offerings that aren't even slowing down before they are unknown.

I even went out and bought HOI, which I had never planned on doing, just to increase a bit of income for you folks.

So please tell us if you can... is CK going to save Paradox?
 
I would love to buy it direct, but my credit cards should not be used at this time...*cough*...but I got cash =-)
 
And VISA is evil and has security measures in place on my card that I can't bipass without a bill which I have never received due to paying on time.
 
There's a pretty good chance that I would have preordered direct had there been an option for PayPal...

Save them from what?

I dont know why but a lot of people seem to think that Paradox is on the verge of going under. I have not come across any thread to indicate that. I got the feeling from their posts that they are doing ok.. maybe not great but still afloat.

I get the same impression, in addition from what I have read games are only a portion of the business

Well, let's just say that your "hearts and minds" campaign paid off. ;)
Damn shame I have made an oath never to have ANYTHING to do with a credit card.

See? No problems. If you're really bothered about the financial state of Paradox buy some shares in them (that is assuming they've floated, although for a company that small I'm guessing not).

Actually, that's a hideous reason to buy shares in them. If I think they might have been underperforming recently, I can look to see their future. If I feel it's bright, I invest. If I feel that CK isn't going to sell well, I avoid investing.

Helpful hint: I was wondering sales data so I would know if its worthwhile to buy up a chunk of Paradox. I figure if I get a big enough chunk I can move the company to the USA ;)

Paradox is a Public company? Ticker Symbol? I'm curious now...

I'll give my keys to the local equity shark and send the proceeds directly to Paradox before I see 'em cross the atlantic :D
