Uh... the article clearly says that HiSense will continue to use both brand names.
This Big Daddy is the band that has been doing genre-change covers since the '70s. Is it the one you intended to link to?

I tweaked my settings a bit (like disabling MSAA and some shadows) and I still had some frame rate issues, but then I disabled my laptop's "3D Guard" feature that links fan performance to the orientation of the laptop, and I have had no frame rate issues since then (with >100+ hours now). I was even able to re-enable some things.

It's a pre-pre-alpha. You shouldn't expect it to handle a 1% setup like yours (3x mons, SLI)
They have raised an average of $100 per contributor, they have extremely high system requirements... and you think his setup is in the top 1%?! Surely the average contributor would have a high-end setup.
I'm Asian, and I don't consider "oriental" offensive. I just consider it stupid. It's ignorant to use the term because it's just plain wrong in most circumstances.
Direction-based names are dumb to use in a globalized market. They only make sense in a more localized market. Saying "east coast" in a US-centric TV broadcast is OK. "East coast" doesn't make sense in a global TV broadcast, though. "Oriental" makes no sense to people in North and South America since China is closer to the west than the east. "Occidental" makes more sense for Americans, but then that's wrong for Asians, Africans, and Europeans. "Oriental Empires" could be the name of a game made in China about the Mayan and Aztec empires.

What an unfortunate name for the product. I long ago vowed to never purchase anything named Starforce.
Even though it's 12 years old, get it before it's banned when politicians find out that the prinnies are suicide bombers.
A little late... I already put 100 hours into the PS2 version since 2003, and another 250 into the DS version from 2008. (I'll probably still get it because I'm a sucker.)
Yeah, they changed it to Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge.
I look at it more as $5.9 billion for the acquisition of King's customer data plus $1.8 billion/year of extra revenue. That data is valuable. It's for 500+ million active users.
To be in the top 20% of Steam users you need only own 4 games.
Growth is growth, but we should be careful not to portray Steam as millions of users willing and eager to buy full price games. A large majority of users don't spend any meaningful amount of money.
Of course, the top 20% spenders of the millions of iOS and Android users own ZERO games (well, OK; to be fair, it's some decimal between 0 and 1) and just spend on free-to-play, so it's encouraging that at least Steam users will spend money on something that isn't designed to annoy users constantly.
I went there looking for MissionForce: Cyberstorm, but no luck. It and MechForce (on the Amiga) are the two best turn-based tactical mech games ever. (Titans of Steel: Warring Suns was decent, but clunky.)
Wow, that brings back memories of Deuteros...
By the way, those of you calling the game Victorian might have missed the fact that it takes place in the 18th century, not the late 19th. There aren't many games that occur in that time period, so it is not an overused theme.
How can it be a waste of developer resources when it's a single developer who has already had success with his first Victorian-themed card game?
Reach for the Stars was the foundation for space 4X, not MOO. MOO introduced designable races and ship design, but everything else was based on RftS or Empire (the other foundation of 4X).
You want him to shut up because games are actually a place to avoid, to be weak, and to be unable to do anything?
The one-man dev team is not that mysterious... it's a Polish guy named Przemyslaw Sikorski. Rezoner has two Web sites.

It looks like it could be fun, but I'm not a big fan of this particular 8-bit art style.

Eternal Dagger (Wizard's Crown II) had an improved UI over the first. Try playing that now that you have played Wizard's Crown and you'll quickly see the differences.
Geez, calm down.
For those who care for the facts, you can look at the actual document instead of Kotaku's interpretation:
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140507e.pdf
Kotaku reported the operating income, not the net income. Actual losses (net income) were $228 million, not $457 million (operating income).
On the other hand, a huge load of money was spent in R&D: $704 million (71,736 million yen).
They have the equivalent of US$3.3 billion in cash (343 trillion yen). Of that, they have a crapload of foreign cash: US$2.3 billion and 532 million Euros.
In other words, they could have last year's net losses for 15 years without breaking a sweat, while still spending 2.5x the amount of losses on R&D.
So, Nintendo isn't dying anytime soon.
