One of the ways we like to thank our customers here at Stardock is through our annual reports, compiled and authored by Stardock President and CEO Brad Wardell.

This year’s report, as always, combines a look at Stardock’s recent past and its future plans, analysis of the software and gaming industries, and statistics and observations from a survey of thousands of our customers.

Some of the tidbits from this year’s report:

• Stardock is interested in game consoles for the first time in its history, thanks to the power and ease of development on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

• We can’t wait to start 3D printing Galactic Civilizations III starships, and seeing what players’ creations look like in real life

• iOS and Android development “more closely resemble a lottery system” than a viable market

• Object Desktop Infinite is coming, allowing customers to access the full suite of Stardock’s desktop enhancements for just $3.99 per month

• Almost twice as many Stardock customers own Android devices compared to iOS machines

• Stardock customers are evenly split on Windows 8 – 39% have a positive opinion, while 39% have a negative perception
