I stand by this assertion. Civ3's release is imminent in the US, other countries are reporting similar release dates, yet for some unstated reason Infogrames has failed to pull it's thumb out of it's rectum and get this game launched or even remotely publicised. We have seen a poster here who works for Infogrames UK who has a copy of the game, so why is there still another 3 weeks before the game is launched? Looking at the Infogrames UK website, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the game doesn't exist at all, even Firaxis themselves don't seem to know what they are doing in terms of release date, nor do many retailers. I asked at Virgin Megastore and the bloke behind the checkout was totally and utterly clueless about the imminent release of the game, and suggested that what I heard was an unfounded rumour
I really think that Infogrames UK needs a shake-up and to get themselves into gear and sort things out regarding the UK release of Civ3. Because from where I am standing, it looks like nothing but a long catalogue of balls-ups!
