aka_tom_w Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Congrats to BTS !!! way to go! as for there first printing numbers I would like to speculate... If they are "over 1000 a long long time ago" and if Matrix SP W@W downloaded 6000 copies in the first 48 hours of free downloading and if my personal experience suggests that the minimum cost effecifient run of printing a first run of a new batch of CD's is (if I recall correctly) about 5000 units then I would suggest, purely based on my own personal opinion of how I would order an uncertian first run of any CD printing I would say they ran 5000 units and sold them all out early, and have now requested a new run of 10,000 units. This is ALL just GUESS work and shear speculation on my part. If I were BTS I would not divulge ANY of these figures either so I doubt they will ever comment on any of these numbers and I don't blame them. Steve and Charles you guys deserve all the glory and rewards of ALL your hard work and out standing customer service and for putting up with all the bitching and whining that wsa posted in between all the real inspirataional and insightful posts that were actually helpful to the game. congrats! -tom w <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by EScurlock: Spectacular.

GriffinCheng+ Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Just read the news on CDMag and SimHQ. Hats off to BTS! I was about to order one more copy for PC but should I order now and could an express delivery be made? Thanks BTS for bringing us the game and hope to see CM2 soon. Griffin. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning. Expect to see "GriffinCheng76", "GriffinCheng(105)" or "GriffinChengA3E8" more should Forum problems occur again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer! Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Wahoooo! One for the good guys! Way to go, Charles and Steve! Are we witnessing a "flight to quality"? I sure hope so. Here's hoping that if you ever sell out to one of the "Big Boys", you retain full creativity and quality control! But then, keep this up and you *will* be one of the "Big Boys"! Thanks for an awesome game, BTS. Ober ------------------ "Them Yankees couldn't hit the broa..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Khann Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Congratulations BTS! I'm really glad to hear that CM is selling so well. Excellent. .... geez, I haven't even gotten my ASL buds to buy the game yet (I think at least some of them are close, though). Hope that next shipment of CDs arrives quick.

Rudee Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Congratulations to Bigtime Software!! I'm hoping with the extra capital they can improve CM2 well beyond our imagination. Possibly even include motion capture for the soldier movements and volumetric smoke, etc. Hehe. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did NB Forrest's quote pre-date WWII? The reason I ask is that I'm not quoting Forrest, but an old WWII G.I. axium. Maybe they got the idea from Forrest? ------------------ He who gets there the fastest with the mostest wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriarty Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Heartiest congratulations, Steve and Charles. Your success is well deserved. My thanks also go to all those who helped test the game, made suggestions to improve it and helped spread the word. ------------------ We are both men of action.
