Spacecom, a strategic-to-the-bone, starfleet command game with minimalistic art and heavy focus on multiplayer, is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com, for only $14.99*.

Spacecom is a battle of strategists in which deception, smart movement, and choices to battle decide victory or defeat. No coincidence, no luck. Spacecom pushes your ability to strategize with a focus on real-time tactics and planning. Use proven maneuvers learned from military legends or devise your own plans. Dominate your enemies in planetary systems with up to six players per campaign. Most of all, you'll need a bright mind, cunning, and sound tactics. With sound designed specifically to trigger strategic thinking, and minimalistic visual design inspired by military technology you can soon find Spacecom becoming a new strategic addiction you'll happily share with your friends.

*$14.99 is the basic price for this title in the US. Other prices will apply in different countries. If you end up paying more than than the US price, we will reimburse the difference from our own pocket, giving it back to you in store credit (this is what we call the "Fair Price Package").
I wonder why it's regional priced here when the publisher sells it at a one-world price?
Is "visual design inspired by military technology" genuinely supposed to be some sort of selling point? Because it looks awful to me.

Plus screenshots that tell me basically nothing about how the game plays or works, a description that gives no info on how the game actually plays (other than "focus on real-time tactics and planning"), no video that might clarify anything (and let me hear this magical sound-design), and a "heavy focus on multiplayer" without any explanation of how the multiplayer is implemented.

The game might be brilliant, but I give the game card and release description a D-. See me after class.

Does this game have single player? How good is it? Does it have a campaign or story mode? Can anyone that have played it comment about the game please?
multiplayer focused (I'd say many will pass purely cause of this) and regionally priced.
sorry double whammy. Big pass this one
Some real testy comments up in here. Complaints about the site, complaints about pricing, stuff that has nothing to do with the game. Is it usually like this with a new game? "Hey GOG, I see you have a new game, but I hate your website design. I don't understand how the world works."

The game admittedly looks kind of bland, but a quick play take on 4X style battling means that you don't have to spend hours staring at it. If it weren't multiplayer versus focused, I'd be interested. From what I can tell, there's a skeletal single player campaign, but it's intended for like-minded competitive humans to go head-to-head on. Further, I'm not sure if the multiplayer requires registration or activation, like DEFCON does.

Without more information, I'd assume that the AI in the game is scripted and isn't capable of providing a "real game." It may as well be multiplayer-only, and we don't know if there are DRM measures on that.

The fair price package makes regional pricement totally irrelevant to all users who are periodically buying games on GOG.com.
Only one-shot-users got problems, but really: One-shot-users aren´t GOGs main audience!

I buy a lot of games on GOG, but yet it isn't irrelevant to me. Buying those games would send the wrong signal to the developers and publishers in my eyes and it would encourage more and more of them to adopt the (most times) unfair price model.

+1. AND it's not the same for GoG, THEY are paying the difference.

This is a imperfect TEMPORARY solution, I'll wait for a better one.

But it isn´t unfair at all as you are EFFECTIVLY (transferred on all games) paying exectly the same amouth of money as if it would have been priced like in the old GOG days...
