I tracked down the guy who gave a negative review to Battlezone 98 Redux after playing for over 8,000 hours, and came away convinced he was right (www.pcgamer.com)

Seems like a lot of devs don't play their own games.

Not quite done? Slap an early access sticker on that bitch and move on to the next title.

My most recent experience with that was Manor Lords, the steep learning curve was one thing, the inability to mine some resources due to game breaking bugs though...

That game is raw dog alpha. Dev deff warned on steam page about the risk lol

Hopefully he gor funds to move this thing into a product

How the hell do you accidentally remove fog of war from a strategy game?

That is moronic to a level I didn't expect from this, I can see why he left the negative review.

A really nice article to read and yes, I too enjoyed the original Battlezone back in the day.
