Jamie I totally agree,
Sadly, this seems to be the case about a lot of simulation games. Retail stores don't want to carry a lot of units in stock because they're not sure they will sell. In fact, when I spoke with EB Games they told me I should contact the developer and have them point me to a place where I can buy it online, because they found nothing in their database for Dangerous Waters. Maybe the word "Popular" doesn’t describe it well. I think they know they probably won’t sell as many units as lets say a first person shooter game like Half-Life 2, because Dangerous Waters is an advanced simulation which is not for everyone, so they don’t bother to carry it?
It really angers me because this isn’t the first time I've had trouble finding a game like this.
Here is an example Jamie. You can go to this link for Dangerous Waters on GameStop and under the Check Store Availability put in 83876 as the zip code and 200 as distance and you will see a few stores listed with 0 units in stock and a NO under “More On The Way?”

BTW: From what I have played so far, Dangerous Waters is an awesome game Jamie!!! Thank you!!!
