Oh it's way before that. He used to ramble on about what a great president Shrub was, etc. He's certainly entitled to his insane beliefs but I'm sure as shit not going to help him realize them if I can help it.

The whole deal with Brad started to get unpleasant when he announced in 2009 that Stardock was going to boycott UPS after UPS said they didn't want their advertisements run during Glenn Becks show (after Glenn said Obama was a racist who hated white people). Then there was the disaster of Elemental, and finally the allegations of sexual harassment at Stardock.

It's not hard to understand why some people don't want to give them money.

I feel that Stardock has made good on Elemental with free copies of later (better quality) releases in the series to those who preordered the original. As far as I know the Sexual Harassment stuff was never proven, and the UPS fiasco was six years ago. I'm wary of Stardock but don't feel they are worse than EA or Ubisoft.

That said, I will never ever preorder anything from them again!

He's a right-wing extremist and proud of it. Those are generally people I choose not to give my money to where possible.

Yeah, I'd be happy to grab this but I simply can't bring myself to give Bradly dime one.

Why? Did he hurt your cat, or is it because he's opinionated?

If I had to guess I would say it's because he sorta kinda defended Fox News once... or was it Glenn Beck? Who knows.

Yeah, FE:LH is actually pretty good, in a classic turn based strategy style way. Unfortunately there is still a lot of resentment out there by many people for the horrible failure that the first game was on release, and the general asshattery Stardock/Wardell have gotten into.

This is a surprisingly good game.

While I wait for the devs to get the Endless Legend AI whipped into shape, I find myself playing this a lot. There are still major update plans in the works for it as well.
