Avoid this game developer like the Plague
This is how Eleon Game Studios, makers of Empyrion: Galactic Survival, deal with factual objective criticism of their development process:

They ban the critical person and delete the comment.

The company also values player experience so little that nothing is done to prevent misinformation about their own game from being recklessly spread in their game's Steam forum. Not only do they refuse to engage in the forum save when it's perceived to benefit them (public perception), they refuse to remove or even correct misinformation, which was a routine occurrence due to the complexity of the game. I spent years trying to discourage it myself but, not only did I receive no aid from the company or its moderators, I was frequently punished by a moderator when that effort created denials and baseless arguments and some anonymous twit clicked the Report button. Only one or two other players showed concern about the misinformation. A single prolific person was responsible for the vast majority of it, yet he was never discouraged or disciplined.

Understandable. They also partnered with Funcom, which is 100% owned by Tencent, a company under CCP control and a harsh politic on making everything with DLC's (Check out Conan Exiles) Very sad

Tarc_Novar told me about a couple days ago, and it's pretty disgusting. They won't be finishing the game now, now that they're "officially" outsourcing more content to former players like Ravien and Vermillion and actually giving them money now and just scraping their cut off the top.

I uninstalled the game and threw my own modding in the crapper more than 6 months ago, and of course I was banned from the forum for no good reason, so I wouldn't have known at all unless you guys told me.

Have you seen Empyrion made a new DLC without even finishing the main story? And the new weapons and stuff will only be for people with DLC

Heyo!
I only played Gladius a wee bit but... first impressions were good. Pretty much a 40k civ clone on the surface. Didnt feel incredibly polished but Im just glad there are finally a decent array of options for 40k games. I will reinstall and get round to reviewing it soonish. I dont recommend holding your breath for it tho :steammocking:

An alleged solo game developer by the Steam name of RenderGoblin friended me on Steam today. In the resulting chat when I asked his motive, he was unable to candidly reveal it and was instead manipulative, selfish, evasive, dishonest, and disingenuous. Ultimately when he decided [incorrectly] that I couldn't be of use to him to further his goals he discarded me immediately, unfriending me. He may have also hoped that in unfriending me he could erase all the evidence of the conversation because Steam erases or hides all chat when friends are removed.

This is the sort of developer whose game I would never buy, having such advance knowledge of his behavior and character. "ESG" matters to some of us more than the product being offered.
