Expand Your Galactic Civilizations For Free

Thanks to GamersWithJobs for pointing to the free Expanded Universe add-on for PC strategy title Galactic Civilizations, launching later today, and expanding this previously discussed game with multiple features (better AI, new ships, new random events) for free, providing the player installs the Stardock Central updater. The site explains their rationale: "Statistically, only a tiny fraction of the total sales of the game occur direct [from the developer]... but with that 10%, a different incentive is created - keep the game fresh and improving over time in order to help sales over a long period."
