EPTDespite the obvious size problems, the devs haven't decided to cut their losses and quit yet. Also, they promised more players within the next few weeks. Let's see if they will make good on that promise.

Several recent games such as Witcher 3 cost £50/65 euro now, which is about 75 dollars (1.5x more) Also i don't think it's worth the effort TBH. It's gone. They'd have to do way too much work to have a decent game that would hold up long term including at least major changes to the main engine if not a complete re-write of a lot of the code | ||

but to be fair, RTS is indeed a dying genre :/ the most played one is (duh) sc2 and it has about 300k active players (althou im not sure since unique =/= active) ok, maybe not dying, but stagnant | ||

The new heroes is interesting too but i hate Uplay... I backed project Phoenix, it should be good. :p | ||

I was personally responsible for three sales of the game but it just doesn't work. Any incoming progress is at a snails pace because there's nobody left who cares about the game, you literally can't find a 1v1 match. | ||

The point is that the lack of players is the biggest outstanding issue right now. There are ways to fix that, so I wouldn't call it hopeless. | ||

A couple quit from not having beastly rigs but yea. There is no CPU on the planet faster than mine (overclocked current gen, game doesn't benefit from >4 cores) for running the game and it's the worst performing game i have ever played. It ran terribly before units spawned, but then when you were mining from 12 different places across the map and had 300 worker units it was unplayable. I'l check out performance now, but i don't have much faith in the devs. I played after the specific big "performance update". That drastically improved performance in some areas, but still left the pronounced stutters 20 times per second on the game simulation ticks. | ||

That's not acceptable when you're going to be running far worse after actually building units and have the best hardware available. | ||

Pretty sure the lag issues are fixed... if you still have lag issues it might just be your graphics card driver and stuff like that. | ||
