BigDownload has a new interview up with Stardock’s Brad Wardell where Elemental: War of Magic, Impulse, and other items of interest are talked about.

In a forum post you said you have now approved a budget to continue development of Elemental for the next two years. What can you tell us about what players of the game can expect in both the near and far future?


The main things to expect from Elemental will be two very large expansions. While many gamers have seen tremendous progress in v1.1 and v1.11 of Elemental: War of Magic, it's going to take a significant new launch with some major enhancements to win players back and put the game back on track to being counted along side classic fantasy strategy games like Master of Magic and Age of Wonders. I'm also glad that everyone who bought Elemental last year will get that expansion pack for free. Our customers won't have to feel like they had to "pay extra" to get the game they expected to get in the first place.

This is why I don't worry about Stardock.  Being privately owned means you can take a loss , thinking about the long term. 

 

If Stardock was a branch of say 2k, we wouldn't be getting much of this Elemental support.

We would have seen maybe one patch -- two if we were lucky -- and then it'd be on to their next project.
