    Who remembers that they delivered a half-baked Planetary Annihilation out of early access and then move their product to Planetary Annihilation: Titans to get rid of the bad steam reviews?

    'cause I do.

        Haha yes, I bought into it at early access as well. This game was my “don’t blindly trust early access promises” experience.

      Oh but do you also remember how they blew up SMNC (Super Monday Night Combat) on their way out, and their last two moves on SMNC were:

      1 - Adding more microtransactions, AND LETTING THEM MINE CRYPTO ON YOUR COMPUTER TO GET THEM!!!

      2 - Apologizing and promising to update the game soon, and abandoning it to work on PA, which had a day 1 price of $90 on Early Access (because it wouldn’t be fair to the kickstart backers)!

      I loved MNC, I loved SMNC until they wrecked it, but I will never give that company another cent. Also if you’re curious why you never heard of Star Theory Games doing all that shady stuff, it’s because they used to be Uber Entertainment Inc. and literally renamed themselves to try and shed the bad name they made for themselves. Oh and now they’ve changed their name AGAIN to Galactic Annihilation, but it’s the same people. Do not trust them.

        Oh boy, I was not aware of this at all, thank you for the enlightenment. What utter douchebags. I think I’ve known them as Uber Entertainment from the beginning, but it’s been some time now.

        Seem like those turds have a pretty straight modus operandi in regards to changing name every now and then when they eventually shit the bed.

        Did you ever get into Supreme Commander? It’s a true, updated TA successor. Otherwise now there’s Beyond All Reason, which the community has largely migrated to.
