East India Company only $5 at Direct2Drive


Direct2Drive's fifth anniversary promotions may be over but the $5 sale is apparently going to be around for awhile, at least in a more limited form. The PC game download site has announced that the recent historical strategy game East India Company is now on sale for a mere $5.

In case you are wondering that's a massive discount from the game's normal $29.99 price tag. The title, from developer Nitro Games and publisher Paradox Interactive, will soon get a new update that will add a couple of new multiplayer modes among other things. A commercial expansion pack, Privateer, has been announced but there's no word on a release date.
