Them getting greedy and fearful and adding DRM = no sales.
I guess after the sales diving off a cliff after a month or so they see their treatment of gamers as thieves as something they regret. |

Oh, nothing really especially shady, and certainly not nefarious. It was probably the result of a bug with the installation process (version downloaded from their site) but, my startup list has an entry called:
{a8959312-9179-420b-a900-1fd74ad5f68d}
from "Unknown" manufacturer, pointing to my 'Downloads' folder, to execute: "MinerWars_TEST_01_088_000_Setup.exe /cmdloc "HKCU\Software\Keen Software House AiTemp\{a8959312-9179-420b-a900-1fd74ad5f68d}""
Which I had deleted after running the setup program. Definitely didn't make me happy when I first saw it though, making me satisfy myself it wasn't itself, or the result of, something nasty. I imagine it has something to do with their do-it-yourself, not-DRM, DRM.
edit: Oh, and obviously, to be fair, that was from the beta installation (though only about a week or so before the final was released).

| Yeah big fail. They had a very cool initial tech demo, but no plan or design for where to take it. This campaign was a misstep but I don't think they had any better ideas. I hope other recent cool tech demo space sims fare better |

| I just couldn't get into this one. I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't much fun. It's like a tech demo (and a not really all that impressive one) half-heartedly converted into a game. Also it seemed kind of shady due to the annoying DRM and weird stuff it put in my Windows startup list without asking. |
