I don't know either, but whatever he was expecting wasn't what the game was designed or conceived to be. It really isn't fair, and it annoys me to no end. But Gamespot has usually been known to not always be fair to lower budget games and favor more hype based big-budget games, from my experience. I think the review was dismissive and didn't give the game as it was designed a fair shake.

Thought: I'd like to see in the near future what more smaller, less-ad and hype driven sites think of the game. Most of the shareware sites and indie themed sites loved the game when I self-published it for awhile, and gave it a lot of compliments. I recall even one of the producers of the game Age of Mythology wrote me about 6 months back to tell me he couldn't stop playing it, so it can't be all bad!

Here's another opinion:

Interstellar Trader 2 Review

A much more balanced review.

Have a way to determine the economy of a planet WITHOUT having to land on the planet. Also, news info sent to players giving hints about where to buy,what to buy and where to sell would be great.

I think this would be a great idea, and maybe to balance it out make it so there is a better chance to run into pirates because of the public annoucement.

I may toy around with something like this should another patch be released at some point.
