Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation is a RTS game, developed by Oxide Games, and published by Stardock Entertainment.

It is a generally serviceable RTS.

I played through the first tutorial, and having completed it, I'm uninstalling the game.

As much as I said yesterday I try not to talk about the devs behind games, I'm talking about the devs for a completely different reason today.

I was surprised to see the Stardock logo pop up, as I don't play games published by Stardock, on principle.

Both Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment were founded by Brad Wardell; since he happily poured fuel on the GamerGate fire, and was openly supportive of GamerGate, amongst other things, I made the decision not to buy or play any of his games.

Since I'd already started up the game, figured I'd still give it an honest review (as a game, it's OK), but will I play Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation again?

1: Nope
