I recall hearing somewhere that either SupCom or FA didn't make as much money as was put into it.

Possibly from @jables? Can anyone find me a source?

no. it made more but only a million and that's not worth it apparently in the game industry.

I also recall it was jables who said something like that can't quite recall the quantity.


if we're talking generated income and not reviews and appreciation PA may yet have been a bigger success I don't know

Considering that according to jables even on the release of FA there were some angry threads on the GPG forums about how that would split the community, etc... I would say that in 10 years there will only be appreciation left for PA, just like there is only appreciation left for FA.

no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Commander_(video_game)#Reception

SupCom and FA alike got to revel and bask in streams of praise from the reviewers in a manner not common to the gaming world.

not on the level of TA which probably is a record-holder in that regard though.

I'm not talking about reddit.

but yes, we can expect PA's appreciation to go up.

wikipedia doesn't show how the forums people reacted

as I was saying for the general public eye not forums and reddit

Remember hearing somewhere that approximately $23 million was put into sup com's production (can't remember if that was vanilla or fa).

I believe you read that in the Ashes of the Singularity forums.
