As beta testers and let's just say game... aficionados.... :( ... I'm sure that most of you know about Civ 4.

My university is going to host some people from Firaxis:

Jeffrey Briggs, Founder, President and Partner
Jonathan Plutzik '76, Chairman and Partner
Sid Meier, Creative Director and Partner (via satellite)

on April 7.

I'm going to go to the event and try to ask a question or two. Anything you guys are particularly interested in knowing about?

Update: Went to event, didn't get picked to ask questions. Might be able to ask tomorrow... :-(

When's the next patch that fixes the massive graphics memory leak?

I doubt they'd know the answer to that...

Just talked to one of the guys at Firaxis today:

*They work cooperatively with other developers as them, even beta testing each others' products.
*They do position their products according to what competitors are doing. (so as not to be a "clone")
*They do have beta testing and had beta testing for Civ 4. They just invited 6 guys who won the "tournament" at the university to beta test their new Civ4 expansion.
