Shrapnel Games Blog

I want to thank our Space Empires fans for the outpouring of sentiment we’ve received in reaction to Tim’s blog yesterday. The community you all have nurtured on our forums is a gem, a rare gem. You are what makes this business FUN for us and have truly become our “virtual” family. We don’t expect any of that to change (especially the part where gifts are bestowed upon us when we meet up at conventions, Mac!). We laugh with you, we cry with you, and we grow and improve as a result of your feedback.

I’d like to share with you a few of the comments that have come to us via the forums, email and comments on the blog. These words have deeply touched us:

“This place is great and the effort you put here is immense. There isn’t a forum I’ve been on that I’ve enjoyed more than here.”

“Thank you for hosting an SE5 forum. You’ve really helped the space empires community flourish.”

“This is probably the best forum I’ve ever been on. I truly appreciate Shrapnel supporting us and our addiction.”

“Keep making good games, Shrapnel.”

“I look forward to many more years as a Shrapnel Games customer as they release more games and continue to provide excellent customer service.”

“Thank you Shrapnel for all the support of this community over the years.”

“Shrapnel has earned the respect of so many people over the years with the games you sell and the support you offer for your customers that you have the loyalty of many.”

“I wished to thank Shrapnel for publishing SE IV… I’ll be back (for Dominions III).”

And this pretty well sums it up.

“I guess we just don’t like change.”

I’d like to remind you that you are welcome and will have a home on our forums for as long as you like. None of us are crazy about changing our habits, and we hope the addition of a Space Empires V forum when the game is released will provide you the option to maintain the friendships that have developed here over the years.

Thank you again for the kind words. We deeply appreciate them and your support.

Annette
