Forts

EDIT 13 Jun While I applaud the fast response to the situation, my review will stay as negative for two reasons: [olist] [*]It's not counted in the overall review score, as I received Forts for free many years ago [*]This review was made to showcase the attitude of EarthWork to the broader audience of Steam's users, not to be petty. [/olist] The game itself is great. Despite being over 9 years old at this point, the physics-based RTS gameplay still holds up today. The developers? Not so much. Major content creator Cloud was banned for 2 months, had their trusted host status and content creator badge revoked, [i]and[/i] was removed from the Forts testing server. Why, you may ask? Because Cloud shared the dev build of Firebird with 2 friends in a way that: [olist] [*]Would not let them play without Cloud hosting a game [*]Would not let them further distribute the build [/olist] I've never seen a developer crash out harder than EarthWork here. Cloud, as a content creator, was given a key to create content, and told to not "share it [i]publicly[/i]". Privately sharing the dev build in a non-harmful way to create said content, which is what Cloud was given the key for in the first place, resulted in Cloud being unable to create Forts content for several months. But hey, at least you got your attention, right?
