Why 'Elemental:War of Magic' went wrong

I found this amusing post by Frogboy (Stardock CEO).
This pretty much explains how they messed up so badly: Quality control was still in psychatric care.

The deadline to get into Elemental Beta 1 ends October 1st.

But lest you think this is a call to join the beta, let me warn you, the beta is a land of horror and agony. Even now, most of the beta testers are requiring long-term psychiatric care to continue functioning.

But if you are a true masochist, you can pre-order now and get into the beta as we are putting together the game mechanics and help mold the final game.

I guess it was funny at the time it was written, but in hindsight it gets a whole new dimension, yep ...

Still keeping fingers crossed that Stardock can turn it into an engaging game though.

That was like from before they really had it in development, duh.
