Sins Of A Solar Empire Sells Half A Million

Well played, sirs! It's been announced earlier today that Sins of a SOlar Empire - Stardock's sleeper-hit PC space strategy game - has sold over 500,000 copies. That's around 400,000 at retail, and over 100,000 via digital download. Considering it's a very PC PC game (ie there are menu buttons everywhere), and cost only $1 million to make, calling it a success story would be selling it short by several orders of magnitude.

Multiple Expansions Coming For Sins of a Solar Empire

Stardock announced multiple "micro-expansions" to be available for Sins of a Solar Empire throughout the next year. The first of these expansions, Entrenchment, is currently being developed and will be available in late 2008 for $9.95. This expansion is said to add new weapon upgrades and defense platforms. Two other expansions also in the works will add new diplomacy features as well as new technologies and ships. I hope fans of the series don't mind opening their wallets! Full release after the jump.
