EA To Sell CD Version Of Majestic Hoping To Boost Sales

from the not-a-good-sign dept

Despite all the hype about EA's online conspiracy game, Majestic, sales aren't too hot. They have significantly fewer paying customers than they expected. To try to boost the sales, they're going to offer a CD version of the game. Of course, the whole point of the game is getting the mysterious phone calls, emails, and IMs - all of which are likely to go away in a CD version. So, I have to wonder how many people would bother buying this version.

  • They didn't advertise it!

    I'm not surprised, I saw NO advertising of the product on any mass-media channels. If not for sparse reports on new sites I wouldn't have know it existed.
