The publisher Stardock has admitted that he had problems with the launch of Elemental PC Game: War of Magic. Last year, launch a "disaster" of the game led to a downsizing of the staff of the company. Technical problems had led to negative reviews and disappointing sales, had accepted the CEO of Stardock's Brad Wardell.
As reported by GamesIndustry. biz, Stardock has recently revealed the true nature of the damage caused by Elemental. "Last year was difficult for the games division. The publication of Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity has been positive but Elemental: War of Magic has been problematic. War of Magic was the second game after Demigod Stardock to create problems "it said in a statement.
"Demigod has had success, however, because despite the initial problems was a great game. Instead of War Magic failed to solve its problems quickly and it was clear that there were structural limits. In other words, what on paper sounds like fun is not always the finished product. " Last month, Stardock took the lead designer of Civilization V, Jon Shafer.
According to the company initially, Shafer would have to try to save War of Elemental Magic before embarking on a new project. However, it seems that Stardock has recently ceased to believe in the redemption of Elemental and may decide to leave the game behind, focusing instead on the creation of stand-alone expansion, Elemental: Fallen Enchantress.
