Do we really need another post telling us that a less than AAA title has been released?
What bothers me is that in 2 weeks, there have been 8 news items in gaming, 2 of which have been about the same stardock game.
what bothers me, no quotes needed, is that the crack staff at neowin (no sarcasm) seems to be unmotivated to report on non stardock stories.
