    sure the same thing will happen to it one day. It happens to practically all games. Some day even the last match of star craft or other popular games will be played.

    if it was a DLC then it would show in the PA tab DLC it is just PA with a few new units and the game fixed up (what PA should of been)

    sounds like a unit dlc to me.

    just its standalone due to higher min spec, due to things like the extra hover layer for path finding and unit wreckage

    Titans plays very differently from classic PA so it makes absolutely no sense for it to have been an update.

    Standalone vs DLC is just packaging. Same price, same functionality so what's the difference? None.

    The question is really simple: Are you willing to pay 6$ for a product that probably has the potential for at least dozens or hundreds of hours of multiplayer fun?

    The whole concept of the planets and the spherical maps killed this game for me .
    It totally destroys the concept of strategic zoom .
    The interface is terrible the units are hard to distinguish when they are clumped together.
    Most of the reviewers said the same thing about the Interface it does not work and most people hate it .
    This can be seen by the amount of people playing this game.
    I was hopefull this was going to be great thats why i paid £90 on kick-starter but right from the start the interface did not work for me or the 6 friends that also paid .
    For me the game is dead as every-time i try to play it i hate it and keep going back to forged alliance .

    I think your right that the spherical maps is what puts a lot of people off the game.

    But I believe for most people it's a new learning curve with will confuse and frustrate you at first but if you persevere at some point it will click, like learning to drive a car you still thinking about it.
    Once you get there you will realise how much playing on planets add to RTS, and how good the UI is.

    You've been declaring PA dead since the start of Beta? I guess the thing is, one day you will be correct. I don't think that day has come yet though (and judging by the fact original TA is still played online you might be waiting a while).

    If it is really dead then why are you here?
    Why is anyone here on the forum for "dead game"?
    Could it be that your wrong?

    You think it is dead when it's clearly not, we wish you would stop saying it's dead but you keep coming back.
    How about you don't come here and you can keep thinking the game is dead and in the meantime people can keep playing the game without you.
