whats it mean when a game goes "GOLD?"

[PremiumG]

Like how can games go gold even before they come out?

 

[bradruth]

It's when the discs are mass-produced & prepared to ship.

When a game goes gold it means the game is finished and the master disc (the 'gold copy') is sent out to be produced in mass and put in boxes to ship.

Oh, I would've figured that it was the same as when a music CD goes gold.. and I would've apparently been wrong, lol.

me as well, Gold = 100,000 copies sold or something I think. Platinum = 1,000,000 copies sold.

I just checked because I have always wondered about this, it is 500,000 to go Gold, and a million to go Platinum, link
