	[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="pinback"]I've said enough about Tharsis. I've said more about Tharsis than anyone else in the world. It was a <i>perfect</i> game, which ruined its creators because of shitty word of mouth and <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/tharsis-review/">absolutely unforgivably embarrassing, terrible reviews</a>. Accused of being "too hard" and "too luck-based", Tharsis was neither of those, just a perfectly balanced and executed strategy game with a timelessly compelling story -- a doomed spaceship trying to make it to its destination before splodin'. The studio had to shut down, and then the parent company came in and actually broke the game for a few weeks before putting it back in playable condition. It's still not as great as it was on release. It's all very bittersweet.[/quote] The reviews are so bad. It's too bad that Valve can't understand that they had a unique situation here. The people they were selling to were too stupid to understand the product. Should have been no refunds and no negative reviews allowed unless they were at a > 180 IQ and could prove it. [/quote]
