Yeaaaa, I think the decision ( was not mine ) not to do a public Beta of any kind really sealed the deal, we only tested it with high end paid professional testers, 64+ at a time, but a far cry from actual end users playing the game!
At least I know the 64 player part of my tech works ....
that and im sure they didn't have a large variety of system setups I know I few companys I have worked with only have the most high end pc's and emulators and not a "economical" computer that most gamers would have
IE bad ass graphics cards horrible CPU/Motherboard
Yes its a big shame... The game concept was extraordinary, its a shame that at the end this happened... But ive been wondering if youll get the rights to continue developing it, and then releasing a huge patch/update?
"Instead of making a game you hope many people will like, it's sometimes better to create a game you know a few people will love"

That is a long story, I can't publicly talk about stuff like that, I've signed a contract w a publisher - long and short of it - they are in charge of that kind of thing, they own the rights now. Without their support it wouldn't make sense to approach that situation, and I can't even get close to the details publicly due to NDA, non-disclosure-agreements....
Could of been, nay... Should of been one of the greatest strategy styled games EVER!
I'll drink to that.
needed a lot more testing :'(
a lot of those bugs people were saying I couldn't seam to reproduce for some reason XD
still monkey with G:AW once in a wile
