So how can Warlords "go gold" BEFORE release?

That's just a name some companies give their games. Game of the Year Edition and Complete are also sometimes used.

Or sometimes even both. Like, game + expansion = gold, game + expansion + expansion 2 = game of the year. Geez.

yeah

Gold-Pressed Latinum.

Some software even use the term after release. If you say you have Office 2003 Gold then you have the version before the first service pack.

Darn! I wanted to be the first with the "master CD's used to be made of gold foil" tidbit.

Neverwinter nights now has a "diamond" edition IIRC. I think I might buy it with my Uranium Mastercard.

They are going to have to start making up precious metals if they keep it up.

Nah, they can start using the trans-Uranic elements. They're all radioactive, so they don't last forever, which might be more appropriate anyway.

Civilization XXIII has gone Einsteinium!

Mmm, vanilla.

Why do you know this?
