Have you just recently started reading release threads? :) Its been like that for quite a while.

This looks really cool. It's good to see more games likes this. Onto the wishlist for now.

And for those wondering, a developer mentioned on the Steam forums that the game 'will feature single player missions designed around interesting tactical challenges Another developer followed: 'the game also offers a nice single player campaign and the AI of the skirmish mode is constantly being updated.'
Here's the link if you want to confirm (fifth and seventh posts respectively):

Ha ha, yeah. Well, just this one. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I don't see how the game deserves one star solely on the base of the pricing policy.

Don't buy the game if you don't want to support the regional pricing, but leaving misleading ratings doesn't help anyone.

Judging from some rather [url=http://cerebral-overload.com/2014/09/spacecom-review/]reviews, you could say that this game really is just a lot like Galcon, but with prettier graphics. I don't mind the emphasis on multiplayer, as long as the single-player campaign has enough meat on it -- from the Steam reviews I've read, the game isn't quite there yet.

I'm going to leave the rating I wish to leave, thanks for not trying to force on my own choices. :)

Exactly my thoughts. +1

My thoughts exactly.

How mature of you :)

If ratings like Zoidberg's keep up, I'd recommend only tallying reviews if they have text included. Let me vote your review as "absolutely in no way helpful" if you aren't reviewing the game, but something else surrounding it.

I want to know if the game is good. As of this moment, there isn't a single text review on the product's page, but it sits at 3.5 stars. That doesn't really help me much.

This is a make-or-break point for me too.

Weirdly, the game description seems to be taken directly from the developer's blurb for the game. Could GOG staff really not guess that singleplayer content is a bit selling factor on GOG? Adding a sentence to the description to clarify the scope and/or mode (skirmish, campaign) of the singleplayer seems like a no-brainer to me...

I wanted to check out if anyone wrote a short review about the game, found nothing, then I saw the news about the game's release had quite a few comments, so I thought maybe here one or two posts ought to be about how the game plays, or what people think about the game. Oh how wrong I was.

Seriously people? Nearly 3 pages of moaning and whining about regional pricing and (some) about the website design? Seriously? The negative comments about the game's focus on multiplayer, I can at least understand - some people just like it solo, ok with me, but those other comments ...

GoG made it clear why they need to introduce regional pricing. You can call them cowards for not charging forward for the rights of gamers (which would be pointless since GoG is the one of the best, if not best website to get DRM free games), but they as a company also need to make money with new releases, else this whole thing won't work. Make GoG a major player in the market by buying here and telling your friends, and then, when, and only when, GoG refusing to put a game up hurts publishers and game creators they can dictate terms. But as it is now, GoG is in a position where they need to make compromises to be able to field current games in their lineup. Refusing to put a game up here hurts them more, because they need to get "fresh blood" into their game lines, since those old games sell only sofar. So, please keep that in mind about GoG and regional pricing.

But!

On top of that you get the difference between what you pay more and the game's lowest price as a bonus to your balance! This effectively takes from GoG's own pocket, but not even that is enough for you. This isn't even first world problems anymore - this is a whole new level of whining!

Ok, and to be more constructive I'll put up a review, to help out people who thought they could read thoughts about the actual game here.

First of all, you don't get the difference between the lowest price and your price (GOG would be bankrupt in no time if you would), but between the US price and your price.

Secondly, if you really read what people wrote, you would see that most people don't complain that they have to pay more (effectively they don't, because GOG gives us the difference back), but that they (me included) have a fundamental problem with the concept of regional pricing and therefore don't want to support companies which use that pricing model.
And in my eyes it's important to tell them why I don't buy their game. Only if they know, they can do things different in the future.

But I agree that things like regional pricing shouldn't play a role in the rating on the game page. It's very nice that you will write a real review. Even if I won't buy the game, I'm quite curious if it is a good one and if the solo campaign is playable.

Edit: Nice review!

Ofc, you are right. I actually meant it that way, since for me the Dollar price is cheapest on this site, but I didn't write this clearly. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks!

Exciting release.
