This discussion has me thinking of the novel "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card which I assume many of you have read (if not, you should give consider it along with it's related novels and sequels).
Somehow Hollywood has missed that one. Always thought it would be a sure fire hit if made into a movie.
To everyone, I'm sorry this thread got so out of control. Often I am responsible for that though in this case probably not so much. I of course started this thread only to help promote the game. At the time I had read about it on Frederick's Blog site and didn't even know if the news had been posted elsewhere yet.
I've stated many times that I've only personally purchased one Paradox Title (Diplomacy), and really feel it's gotten an unfair bad rap. Paradox has addressed most any complaint anyone had about it and the majority that talk so bad about it have not even bought the game nor even tried the demo.
It is so weird that some spend so much effort to trash Paradox's Diplomacy game and yet most of us that have bought it are still happily playing it months later. In fact what few negative posts there are are generally from new purchasers over-reacting to whatever installation or internet connection issue they are having (no doubt scared that "Oh My God They Were All Right, it IS a piece of ...")
And, of course, even if it were a dismal failure and disaster... That would have little to do with a MMG title.
Since no one else has said it yet, and I have zero reservations about saying what I think, I think at least some of us are simply disappointed that it wasn't a Matrix Title instead (Especially given that these ARE the Matrix Forums). What's wrong with Matrix Games after all? <sniffle> <sniffle> I know I still love 'em.
Although I'm sure there are just as many over at Paradox Plaza who are thrilled to see the addition to their lineup.
