Dear Diary

The Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords Website (thanks Frans) has an update on what's going on at Stardock now that their space strategy sequel is shipping. They describe the time their employees have been volunteering to cope with the surprising demand for the game, along the way offering a little insider gaming knowledge that seemed a bit startling: "To put things in perspective, my friend at Blizzard told me that they have over 1,500 people who just do support. Not art. Not coding. Just customer support."
