Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
they made planetary annihilation and that game was so good people would prefer to play supreme commander forged alliance rather than that game

and now they are making HUMAN RESOURCES

it might be because the humans are the resources in the game or because dumb people who are bad with money are the true resource

In 2010, Uber released its first title, the critically-acclaimed Monday Night Combat. Since then, we have released Super Monday Night Combat, Toy Rush, and Planetary Annihilation.

With Planetary Annihilation, we think the results speak for themselves. The game is a beloved and critically lauded entry in the RTS canon, and we’re extremely proud of it. Now we’re ready to try something even more ambitious.

hmm space sims are a bad, dead genre that seems to be making a lot of money through crowdfunding. maybe we can do the same with the bad, dead genre of rts

as a reminder, if you mention that uber entertainment thought that giving people an option to put a bit coin miner on their computer, pay them less than the bit coins were worth, and pay out in uber fun bucks did this thing then a lot of uber entertainment game threads explode into handwaving.

i have to admit that i am both pro-robot-apocalypse and pro-monster-apocalypse so this would seem to be extremely my poo poo but what is this about planetary annihilation and bitcoins?

This whole thread has been raging at the people who don't want Saracen invasion to their homes

Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures
to their credit they got kickstarter money and actually finished a game with that money instead of getting ten times the asked amount and then selling the game in halves to fund it's development.

Real companies won't give them money because they are hot garbage so they're using kickstarter to float between projects until all of their credibility is gone and the CEO bails with a ton of money

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
In planetary annihilation there was a map that was designed as a honey trap where if you stayed on the planet and got all the resources then another planet would slam into you.

Someone lost 50 bucks on that game.

yes you can. and it is. you can build these huge boosters and affix them to the planet and direct it into the face of the opposition.
