For those outside North America - Cinemaware only has rights to Space Rangers 2 in this territory, so we cannot sell it elsewhere. We're attempting to obtain rights from 1C for the rest of the world, but I cannot say when or if this will happen. As a workaround, if you can find someone in North America to by the game for you as a gift, that will work fine.
Hello Yarlen,
this is very unfortunate, but i have two questions.
1) Will it be possible to install the "1C Worldwide release version" over my Stardock version, if i have to buy this at my local retailer?
2) As i do not have any personal contacts in the US, would it possible that i pay you personally via paypal upfront and you gift me the expansion?
Overall i'm quite dissapointed, of cause firstly by the publisher, but also a bit by Stardock that supports publishers that try to build virtual borders to protect their various pricing structures and antique distribution channels.
I hope this will not end as with Steam or Direct2drive, where in the later you can almnost not download any software at all, as they are restricted to the US, Canada or UK, or as with Steam, where you pay 10-15$ extra + taxes for i.e. a german cut version.
Regards
Christoph
