Paradox launches new website offering print-on-demand strategy guides for its games.
NEW YORK, March 19th 2010 – Paradox Interactive launched today a new service called GameGadgets, which allows gamers to purchase strategy guides for Paradox Interactive's games. The first product is the official strategy guide to “Europa Universalis III: Heir to the Throne”. The service can be accessed from www.GameGadgets.com . Order processing and printing is currently handled by Lulu.com, a popular online print-on-demand service.
“We consider this an experiment to see what interest people have in physical products related to our games. If it's successful, we might consider expanding the product line”, says Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive.
The Heir to the Throne strategy guide is a detailed guidebook with 112 pages jam packed with details about the game and how to play it successfully. It also contains historical notes on the Renaissance period, including the Holy Roman Empire and the English Civil War.
