Another game down the drain

[Unknown_Enemy]

Sad new for IG3.
Anyway, publisher are important. Shrapnel games anyone ? Matrix games anybody ? Yes, some old grognards are gone, but don't tell me the genre is dead.
At the moment, I am playing galciv, SE4 and dominion2. I still have steel panther with all megacampaigns on my hard drive. I intend to play galciv2 the day it's done, and I'll play se5.
The market is changing, I get my wargames or 4x games from small dedicated companies and not anymore from the big names. I am an avid gamer, but the Last big publisher's product I bought was ubisoft's Il2 sturmovik (1 & 2).

Think about space combat simulator : you had some freelancer rubish (pretty, but rubish) published by a big name, while you had X2 made by an independant company and now matrixgames is publishing Starshatter (Hey Sharapnel ! why have you missed this one ??).

I still can play the games I like, I just had to update who's selling them.
