It is December now, but I don't see Gothic 2 at Walmart or Target. How is Grandma going to put G2 in little Timmy's stocking if she doesn't see it at Walmart: the largest retailer in the US?

It has been at WalMart for over 1 month.  It is either at the bottom of shelf or sold out. Look hard. I am in Iowa store Super Wal-Mart.

Hmm, well I've checked several times at a super walmart in the Houston area, but no luck.

Well do what the illegal immigrants here in CA do! File a lawsuite!!! You could call it a 'Inventory Stocking Discrimination' issue - Walmart is purposfully not stocking Gothic 2 thereby discriminating against the title, the publisher, the developer, and the consumer!
/sarcasm off

No need for sarcasm. My comment was questioning Atari's seeming lack of NA distribution for G2 after sitting on it for so many months. I want G3+ made very badly, and not having a wide audience for G2 hurts development for G3.
Maybe I will sue you for your hurtful sarcastic remarks...o' how can I ever recover from such a devastating verbal attack? Let's see headaches, sleeplessness, tearful nights...$$$! Woohoo!

This was the same way I felt about G1. G1, once I discovered it in the bargain bin nearly a year later, and only because I found RpgDot which made me aware of G1, did I play it.
The Gothic games are fantastic. With G2, I continue to be perplexed by how little the game is advertised and how many CRPG fans don't seem to be aware of the series.

I went to the Wal-Mart near where I live the other day and saw several copies of Gothic 2 neatly stacked on the PC games shelf.

I'm not sure Atari does a good job advertising its games, but neither does PB. We still don't have an english web site for the expansion and the Gothic I site was not updated for an enternity. Perhaps, this kind of behavior does not encourage enthusiasum among American game reviewers. I'm not bashing Gothic or PB, but I think more effort could be put into courting english speaking gamers. |

If you can't find it in stores, why not order it online?

Atari dropped the ball, let it roll out the door, then allowed it to get run over by a passing garbage truck (Gamespy).

I am not frustrated that I can't get it, because I can. I am frustrated that everyone can't get it. Not everyone can or will go online to buy a game, and a certain percentage will will buy on impulse. That won't happen if the game is not in the stores.
