this is what happens when you have no focus on your games.
poor rule sets.
poor decisions such as legions.
grabbing popular IP's and just doing god knows what and charging insane money (halo)
flipping back and forth and having no continuity with releases.
its like warlord basically
Obviously a matter of opinion, and Spartan did aappear to have a lackof focus and support for their existing games but certainly the one I'm most familiar with (Halo fleet battles,) was a lot of fun. I certainly wouldn't call it poor. It wasn't that expensive either.
As for Warlord. I get why people don't like them but I'm not sure many of those accusations can be levelled at them either really. Their games are pretty solid in the main, well supported with regular releases, very high production values. On the higher end of the pp rice spectrum but not extortionate.
Just seems an odd rant.
