I'm still here, but might have to unsubscribe (carpal tunnel, y'know).

You might mention that Civ: Call To Power uses this SDK.

Still rushing to get Heavy Gear 2 out the door (for lo these many
months).  Just added launching-from-the-web demo to the sdk (and
am still looking for a decent java or javascript chat to go
with it).  
I need to spend some time with our licensing guys and making
sure our ducks are all in a row, but it's hard with games
going out the door constantly.
