strong disagree. i think they dont need better execution (polish) I think the entire style needs to be changed. Some of the concept arts teased lately have piqued my interest they are entire redesigns or reimagination of the units not polish/execution. Do that with everything. and I also think the gameplay needs a redesign not tweaks and polish either. Make it play at a faster pace like SC2 to start. (if you want to capture the SC2 audience) or throw out everything and go radically different, but not what it is now.

what is with this constant appeal to humanity?

"he's human". so is everyone who gave FG money.

what about the humans who spent money on this game? He is an agent of a massive megacorp and his goal is to bring in 100s of millions of dollars from millions of "humans".

" there was no call for the team to review the game from our leadership".
A slippery, ill-defined statement. They can just define some high up guy who told employees to put reviews on steam as "not part of our leadership". Then, technically this statement is true.

FG and their agents actions speak louder than the community manager's words.

One thing I'd like to repeat though. Tim Morten is an incredibly effective excuse maker. Any one who has worked in software engineering knows that effective excuse making is a critical skill. That long video where he hadn't shaved in 3 days, his hair was slightly disheveled, slight hunched over, little pot belly. That was a virtuoso performance by Tim. I recommend all software engineers watch that video carefully. If Tim Morten looked like Gavin Newsom no one would believe a single excuse coming out of his mouth. Look for Governor Newsom to mess up his hair and only shave every 3rd day. He might even hunch over a bit. LOL.

Tim Morten's extremely effective excuse making gives FG a life line. As the leader ... that's Morten's job. And he pulled it off.

Imagine what would have happened had the money guys at the top of Blizzard dismissed the excuses by the team who made the "Orcs in Space" version of Starcraft. We'd be living in a different world.
