<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.net/images/stories/east-india.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />Thanks to<b> Zeewolf</b> on the<a href="http://www.lighthouse-interactive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2201&sid=5b3a47466f600b83a4319a8b52c27c65" target="_blank"> official forum</a>. In what some would seem a logical ending East India has signed up with Scandinavian publishers and owners of Gamersgate,<a href="http://www.paradoxplaza.com/" target="_blank"> Paradox Interactive</a>. The good news is digital distribution for everyone! The down side however is that we'll need to wait until September to get your hands on it.
<blockquote><b><i>Paradox Vice-President Fredrik Wester: </i></b>This is a great game, and when given the opportunity to publish it, this was an easy decision to make. There hasn't been a good trade/fight/build game in a long time where you can manage huge ships and just go havoc on the seven seas. I think this is a welcome addition to the gamers who miss titles like Port Royale and other games in the same genre.
</blockquote>At this time there is no official word either on the <a href="http://www.eic-game.com/" target="_blank">East India Company</a> website nor the <a href="http://www.paradoxplaza.com/" target="_blank">Paradox</a> site although I think this will be a happy end to what could have turned into a very ugly situation. I'll get more news on this asap, until then our thread, thanks to bumpkin is <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=12817&hl=" target="_blank">HERE </a>
