Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends! Sorry for the lateness of the post, the July 4th holiday totally threw me off. This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I talk about space games with good, mediocre and poor economies. There are a ton of space games in which the economy is supposed to matter, and we talk about how well they do or don’t pull them off. It’s a fun talk.

On next week’s show, we’ll talk about post-release support in games. Not just DLC/expansions, but patches, modding and so forth. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy the show!

Wooohoo #vendettaonline !!
All fair criticisms; it’s still my #1 fave. You have to consider it’s a long-in-the-tooth MMO which had its retail launch a couple weeks before WoW, indie to be sure, and well ahead of its time in many ways.
I know you love it, and I’m glad you do, it’s just not for me.
