Commander: Conquest of the America's goes gold

I don't play them all the time, but I love strategy games. Being married, and having a couple active hobbies during the summer sort of prevents much gaming that requires hours on end of playing. Combining naval warfare and strategy gaming makes for a real good combination. What's really amazing to me is the short turn around between Commander: Conquest of the Americas going gold and the release date of July 30th. I guess this is the value of digital distribution. It's not as much the cost of the disks and packaging (though that's important); it's the fact that you start making money a lot faster if you can get the games in the hands of players just 7 days after it's ready for release.
