Corporate impatience these days.. So many games that had good potential killed by a publisher that has a date-certain stuck in their head and developers that need just a little more time. Then only a rare few developers (like Malfador Machinations) stick around after release to refine what, upon release, was a glorified Beta in to a real gem.
I also remember some prominent developer, I think it was the Bungie guys, saying something like 90% of what makes a game good is accomplished in the last 5% of development. When that last 5% for polishing gets whacked off, we get games like this.
Oh well... I've been looking forward to Supremacy more than I was Legacy anyway.
All hail 'Bones'.
Oh! And that random ST MMO is still out there too but hadn't heard much in a while.
