I can't say that it surprises me. SSI and GW agree on a deal for a epic
based computer game. During the middle of programming GW decideds to redo
the entire game, taking out all the diversity of units. SSI never gets the
news that a reorganization of the rules untill they are almost done with
the programming. at which point they either scrap two thirds of the units
and fit in with GW or they release it as it is. Then GW says, either redo
everything or no more.
Sorry, I'm just really starting to HATE GW, I've been disgruntled for some
time but now I'm starting to think about climbing the proverbial clock
tower and thinning out the Gamine industry.
