If you don't think those kind of things happen in corporate, industry, then my friend I have some ocean front property in Arizonia for sale. And for the reviews and avg. being the same can't say I have seen that in fact it seems from Gamespot where they gave it a 4.0 user reviews had it around 6.7 hardly the same avg. but hate it if ya want it's your party and ya can do what ya want too.



Well no I do not in fact think that there are any shadowy conspiracies going on to take down Stardock. I tend not to believe in things that there is absolutely no evidence for. The fact that you disagree with some reviews, and the fact that you you think conspiracies sometimes happen in "corporate industry" do not in fact count as evidence that some evil plot is going.

And the 6.7 average user review is about the same as the average critic review. You'll note that it's lower then the PC gamer review. Yes there are individual critic reviews such as gamespot that are both higher and lower then the average critic review. That's the way averages work.

Yeah I would say anything between a 5.5-6.9 would be a fair score for this game, just gamestop always comes up with some wacky score like ETW I think they gave it a 9.5 and user reviews were around 5.5, I always trust user reviews on a whole more than a critics review. Let's hope EWOM can reach our expectations, I enjoy it, faults and all.

I'm still rather confused that nearly every paragraph of the review is filled with negative comments and yet the final score is a rather decent 70.  What's the point of a 0-100 scale if a game so badly released that the company comes out and admits it's pretty terrible scores that high?
