I wish I had the passion for RTS like in my teen days. I was obsessed with C&C Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge and ultimately spent my last great RTS days with Warcraft 3. I've tried these indie ones, but I can't get into them the same way. At least not for multiplayer.

Looks like a $10-15 indie game..
For reference, please find me a $10 indie game that looks like this. Because being a doubter is one thing; but that is ridiculous.

Agreed. But doing an isometric view is way less expensive than graphically what this game is doing. I'm not a fan of Ubisoft at all, but saying shit like this means you didn't think an iota about what you wrote.
Oh, that's alright then, they spent 11 years making a game that looks kinda good! Guess that justifies their self-proclaimed "AAAA title" and "ridiculous" price then....
So yea, i'd buy that for $15... and in a year or two, maybe i will!
p.s. there's plenty of indie games using the UE5 engine, hell, there's even free ones if you can be bothered looking... some of them even have actual combat and realist animations, instead of magical saws and auto win lootboxes
Yeah, definitely looks like it's worth $70:

They can try but I think the train left the station. They did not learn a single thing from their past mistakes and assumed the Payday brand would be enough to sell their underbaked game. Even if they manage to pull a No Man's Sky here, that abysmal player count is lethal for this kind of multiplayer game.

Okay, those of you who have the game. I've watched some reviews and, except for coop, I just assumed this was a solo player game. What's the multiplayer aspect? It there PvP?
If I pick it up somewhere down the road, I'd only be interested in solo.

I spent hundreds of hours in AOW3, less than 10 in planetfall, and almost 15 in AOW4.
In my eyes they've lost a lot of their magic and depth that made the game great, all the units, heroes, magic seem very generic and 'balanced' now, as is the gear and items you get from dungeons etc. And the removal or of actual classes was likely a big cause of the watering down in 4.
And the AI that just runs around and razes improvements is just as frustrating and anti-fun as it is in the Civ games.
So yeah, i think i'll be skipping whatever this 2 second video thingy is trying to hint at.
Cool story!

The survival game getting axed is probably a smart move as we are in the middle of a glut of survival games similar to the battle royal glut from several years ago.

Shit, and this announcement was posted even before the morning news item here that reminded me today was the day. They're gonna end up with at least another million through the weekend, maybe more.

the last few seasons of game of thrones (when they ran out of GRRM material) were so bad it should have gotten kicked off the list.

i cant speek for Android auto, but car play sucks ass, there is no way this is safe... How the fuck did we come from being able to turn on the radio and manipulating it with ease to this bullshit we have today. Way to complicated, Touch screens were cool until someone figured how to fuck it all up.. physical buttons are better,

I know it's not an MMO, and it's pretty broken. But is it actually the worst game release even on Steam? Like the most broken?
Most negative reviews don't mean shit to me, people love to pile on for its own sake.
Not having done any research, my gut is telling me this is probably more a symptom of overhype. If this was just another game noone had ever heard of before, would it be getting this much attention? Do you spawn and just fall through the map broken?
Dozens of videos detail how much of an asset-flip scam it is, completely lying about the kind of game and features. They went so far as to copy other games advertising word for word, shot for shot.
Asset flip, disingenuous marketing, copying other games.
I think you just described 10,000 Steam shovelware games that have never received this much attention, or forced the "devs" to shut down in 4 days.
I think the difference is a powerful hype train. Nothing angers gamers more than when those derail.
