IronClad's Sins of a Solar Empire game earned the #3 spot in Wired's Top PC Games of 2008 roundup! Ironically, the list they didn't make is of the 10 most pirated games of 2008.
But, to celebrate their #3 spot, we took five Collector's Edition copies down to their office and had them signed by the team. We're going to be giving them away, along with IronClad t-shirts and copies of the Entrenchment expansion, very soon!
In the meantime, here are Craig and Blair Fraser signing copies.

We've heard complaints about the used game market from people in the industry before, but the founder of Lost Winds devel..."

Sins of a Solar Empire has been incredibly successful: coming from a small team of under 15 developers, this RTS/4X hybrid game has been a huge hit with critics and gamers alike. It has already sold over 200,000 units, becoming one of the best selling PC games of 2008, with almost hardly any preview coverage from the major gaming sites.
Is it possible that someone, or some group, is jealous of Ironclad's success?
