no, i don't think so. It had an activation limit thing though.
Perhaps, except i never play RTS online because the whole environment is generally a lamefest. So you still shouldn't have to.
I lost most of my interest when i found out that base building had been all but removed from the game
Yep that's what happens when a game gets dumbed down, oops sorry, 'streamlined' to appeal to a broader user base.
Indeed... SupCom went the same way. Its just another way of saying 'lowest common denominator'.
The trouble is that there are millions of consumers who want these kinds of games.
I remember arguing with people back in the day who would only play through games with god-mode on. I said, "You're spoiling the game, what's the point?" They said, "It's fun and we just want to see all of the game." Then they'd go buy something else and god-mode through it.
Now back then games developers weren't targeting these kinds of players - they hadn't figured out what a lucrative market it was.
Today, it's well known. Devs churn out games that require little to no thought to play, but are extremely pretty and stylish. The god-mode crowd don't actually need cheats anymore - these new games largely play themselves.
And the masses keep voting with their wallets... they keep consuming this stuff and going back for more.
You really can't blame the so-called AAA studios for knowing how to make money.
