Is that a sequel or an expansion? I was under the impression the original Section 8 didn't exactly set the sales charts on fire.

His busy day was Timegate's Section 8 sequel and Paradox announcing a new expansion for Europa Universalis 3.

Full sequel. Makes more sense than releasing an expansion for a dead game. Hopefully the sequel works out, since I guess the original is pretty solid. GfWL for multi player probably didn't help it, though.

Things seem a lot better now. Everything is a lot, lot faster. Certainly no time outs. There has even been a staff response in the forums.
Is GOG on the way back up now? Stay tuned folks!

trilarion, that's a pretty wicked idea you have right there! i dig it.
perhaps we could solidify the statistical side of the analysis a bit more.. standard deviation could be added in by estimating the increase of all new votes in a month (giving you a handle on voting popularity based on how many new votes are factored in), and divide by average price of new titles in that month, or somit like that.
experimental pseudo-statistical analysis, very bueno.

Thanks for your support. I plan to continue with the calculations (its all automatized in an excel sheet anyway) and publish the next update in october. I am not sure about standard deviations, don't want to make it too elaborate/complex because the error in the underlying assumption (votes linearly represent unfullfilled desires) are probably too large to justify more than a single score to compare with. However I will also publish all my raw data, so everybody can do with it, what he/she wants.
