I know its none of my business(believe me, I know it isn't) but I'm curious so here are my questions:

Q1: How many sales did GCII make?(overall)
(This has roots in the uncertain fate of multiplayer which is still uncertain)


Q2: What was the total budget for GCII?(I want to compare it to some other good games and disapointments. As the american phrase goes "biggest bang for my buck" maybe?)


Q3: What inspired you to make it in the first place?
(I mean what kind of person goes "I just had a great idea for a turn-based space strategy game in which you are in control of humanity's destiny. Here is a quick summary of what its gonna be like:

The year is 2178, the Terran Alliance has invented a new technology -- Hyperdrive. But the secret has leaked to the other civilizations starting a race for all the inhabitable worlds in the galaxy! As leader of United Earth, you must research new technologies, build an economy, create a powerful military force, all the while carefully balancing your political, diplomatic and trade skills." while sleeping in history class.

And a couple of other questions I can't think of right now.
Again, Just saying that I am just curious.
