    No it was because of a bug with the servers, the server computers were hosting more each computer than they should have. They're supposed to host 8 servers (one server for every CPU core) but instead they were hosting much more.

    And maybe people will actually learn to investigate a product before they buy. (Unlikely).

    Yeh, and I'm pretty sure the conditions for such an event are actually quite different from whatever precipitated the problems with SMNC

    The balance makes for a fun casual game, but its too simple for a good competitive game to come out of it.

    I had a look at the steam reviews last night, and there was actually a fair few positive reviews. So I wouldn't say the forums we're full of disappointed people.

    Though to be fair Steam forums have a reputation for being horrible from what I've heard. :p

    You heard it here first, folks. Positivity instantly equates to fanboys.

    Uber really needs to get some moderators running and correct some of these questions and in general clean this up.

    Obviously, I mean it can't possibly be because we actually the facts and don't make silly assumptions, and have worked with Uber for two years now.

    I'm still wondering how fanboyism for this game can already exist, wouldn't that sort of require previous games? I don't really know when players who just like a game become a fanboy.

    Just to clarify my previous comment about the subreddit being either support or, as I have more recently noticed, advertising:

    SXX is doing a fantastic job there so far from what I can see. He's a braver man than I - sod moderating that lot.

    Well I have been playing this game for months and love it completely, I play it every day and tbh its pretty great, some times theres server lag but i can usually play through it its just fun, and with all the cool features it has now with release and the last note on the up date hinting at greater things to come Im excited to see it progress its already an epic game, if people just dont see that then all the other stuff with be what they see but honestly the people who DO see the value in the game from 9/5/ and on will stick with it as it is a very fun game casually or competitively.
