[2023] people are so negative these days

Originally posted by Araon: I'd say it's just a reflection of a lack of trust, which is honestly waranted. With the insane ammount of big releases that keep marketing the next revolutionary product only to come out boring, unplayable or greedy, or all of the above - people are just sick of being lied to.

On the surface, Stormgate looks about as perfect as it can be. F2P with no p2w, single player, pvp and coop,hand-crafted engine to manage things that RTS games need which not many other games require, thus it not existing in many "off the shelf" engines, a comprehensive editor for player generated content...
If that's all true, it's going to easily be one of the best modern RTSes out there...

But that's just the thing - it sounds too good to be true. I'm personally just cautiously excited, hoping it turns out great, but knowing all too well that there's usually a catch, especially when it comes to these big blockbuster games.

Did you sign up for the closed playtest? People are playing Stormgate closed alpha today and getting a taste for what's to come. We're planning to share some of that with the public soon.
