We get a bigger piece of the pie.

Our decision to offer instant beta approval to those who pre-order Savage 2 has been wildly received. Due to this tremendous success, we want to extend the opportunity for others to be a part of our beta testing phase, which begins in July 2006. Ultimately, we want to give more people a chance to be a part of the beta phase so we can make the best game possible.

I'm trying to be an ambassador for this. The more companies do this, the more it'll become an option for people.

Web distribution puts more profits in our hands. At the same time, it allows us to pass the majority of our cost savings along to our customers.

So far, our fans have responded in an overwhelmingly positive way to our decision to forego traditional methods of publishing and distribution. We look forward to having them take part in testing and shaping Savage 2, and helping us to make the best possible game we can.

We had some plays that we didn't convert and Arlington was opportunistic. They didn't have a lot of chances, but they made the ones they had count.
