Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Being Baked, Cake Uncertain

Gas Powered Games doesn't care about black people. I mean gamers.

seriously though, I bought SupCom the day it came out and it has been broken with bugs since release. It works for a few people without incident, but remains plagued by a serious memory usage problem that makes the game a crash fest. There is a really obscure and difficult fix for this that can break other programs and doesn't even solve problems for some who attempt the fix.

Gas Powered Games has said that they are fixing the memory usage problem with this expansion; yet they refuse to fix it for those who already bought a game they can't play, expecting us to shell out more money just to fix a game we bought seven months ago and still haven't been able to play.

I am very disappointed by this, because Total Annihilation is one of my all-time favorites and I was really looking forward to SupCom and wanted to support Chris Taylor's company. It really hurts me that GPG left their fans out in the cold with what would be a relatively simple thing for them to fix in a patch in order to extort us into giving them more money. All this time they promised me cake, then they burned me. Now they are asking me to assume the party position so they can get more or my cake batter. The saddest thing is that I will probably buy this in the hope that I can finally play the game.

I didn't know this was standalone. Hmm doesn't matter...

40 bucks for an expansion pack!?? wtf?

Any and all of you who'd not get FA because SupCom disappointed you... you are the ones missing out. It's not the same game with some touch ups. It's a whole new game all on its own, and I have already stated why. Read my other comment and find out.

Nice Reference... Too bad GPG is a horrid pile of suck when it comes to support on their games. This should be a free expansion pack, considering how much they were touting all the features they stripped off, released only ONE new unit since the game was released and have a huge assortment of outstanding bugs.

Chris Taylor FTW!

Enough with the complaints against GPG...seriously, what hyped up game, or unhyped game doesn't come out with issues of some sort. What defines a good company isn't just the initial quality of their games, or the hype surrounding a product of theirs, but whether or not they follow up after it has been released, and if so, to what extent. GPG has released about half a dozen patches so far, including significant performence improvements, new units for better or worse that they had absolutely no obligation to do, and are getting paid nothing extra for putting in the extra time to do so, they have implemented the Vault, where you can download 3rd party maps, mods, replays, and map tools straight through the game client, and yet you guys keep thinking the company has let you down for some reason. If you don't like a company who is willing to do so many things IN LESS THAN 9 MONTHS after release, and is about to release a kick ass expansion that sounds to be the equivalent of what Core Contingency did for Total Annihilation, and is the ONLY RTS GAME ON THE MARKET, TA excluded, that lets you control over 200 units, and up to 1000 units, without any unit counting for more than one unit...unlike warcraft 3 where a single unit could count up to 7 unit slots, then get your ass the hell out of the RTS genre and buy some recently recycled EA Sports games DVD's that have been liquified and turned into a luxury drink sold at an orange julius near you for only $0.34 a gallon, and provides temporary hallucinations and mild cases of insanity, provided they are taken in quantities of 2/3 of a cup, and can also be used as laundry detergent or as permenant paint for your house...color may vary depending on how much you drank in the past nine hours.

Needs more Weighted Companion Cube.

The Alliance is a lie!
