Strategic Command WWII Pacific Theater Gold-ish

Battlefront.com announces Strategic Command WWII Pacific Theater is
gold, though the accompanying explanation makes it clear they are using a
different definition of "gold" than the rest of the industry. From their
description, it seems that their use of that term in this case covers what is
generally considered having created a release candidate: "What does 'gone gold'
mean? It means that the game code has been 'frozen' and a final release
candidate has been created. It does NOT mean that the game is ready for release
yet. We now need to finalize testing, proof all the print materials, create and
test the installers, and prepare our online delivery system for the downloads. A
firm release date as well as info about pre-orders will be announced Sunday,
December 7th (yes, that's a historic date). The game is a stand-alone third part
of the series, does not require any previous games to play, and will cost $45."
Normally a game is "gold" when it has been tested, approved, and released to
manufacturing (RTM) for duplication.
