Excuse my ignorance, but why the hell do people get excited because a game goes "gold" ?

Because "GOLD" means the company is done developing the game, and the game is now being sent off to be burned and boxed in the millions. This means in a couple weeks time it will FINALLY reach us.

hahahahaahahahaha roflmao...
well call me a whoremo: funny stuff...
COME CHAT

Ah.. ok.

I thought it meant the game had already "pre-sold" a certain amount of copies; making it a certified "best-seller" from the start..

I still think THE ABOVE is the correct interpretation of "gone gold", but I could be wrong..

You don't see many games gone "gold" before they start selling ya know ? That's why I still think my previous answer was the right one.. but I'm an idiot so I could be terribly wrong and should be kept locked up in a mental hospital and harassed mentally / physically all day long without a computer or any forums to post to...

IA ! f'phtang!

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>What does 'Gone Gold' mean?

'Gone Gold' refers to the final Gold Master version of the game that will be used to manufacture the game for distribution. The term 'Gone Gold' derives from the actual color of the discs that developers use to burn the final versions of the game on to for sending to the replicators. When we announce that one of our titles has 'Gone Gold', it means that all of the development, testing and verification work has been completed and that you can look forward to seeing it on store shelves in around 2-4 weeks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
