Stormgate is a failure worth reflecting on. Their customer reviews have now dropped below 50% within a few weeks of their CEO announcing that Stormgate is an 8/10 game.
There are a lot of reasons for that discrepancy.

Stormgate promised Blizzard veterans’ RTS magic. So why is the lead dev blaming gamers for its flop?
When a $35 million-backed RTS stumbles, is it the market or the game? Stormgate controversy lays it all out.

RTS month continues with a freshly dropped early access RTS made by a solo dev - THE SCOURING! I know there's been buzz about this game since the demo released a while back, so now I'm giving the EA release a peek
