Leaving this review to counteract the recent review bombing.
So, a player and outube named Cloud_was recently banned for a little while because he was given access to a private beta of the Firebird DLC to play around wit. He was told not to share it publicly, and he took it as him being able to share it with his friends. TLDR; he broke a legal contract, and so Earthwork (the devs of the game) issued a temporary ban for 60 days aswell as removing some of his virtual bling.
Anyways, long story short, people in the Discord and Steam gotty hissy and complained to the devs, leading them to reduce his ban to the day of the Firebird release and restore his, like, in-game content creator badge and stuff.
Okay, the reason I'm writing this review is because the recent negative reviews that came as a result of this are, let's face it, a little silly. Earthwork could've SUED the guy and won, seeing as it was a breach of contract, but they didn't. Additionally, the devs did infact listen to outrage amongst the community. To all the people who think the game isn't in good hands are failing to consider that they made amends with Cloud in the first place. The game gets frequent enough updates for a game of this size, and, well, y'know? It's a damn good game! The community's great, the devs listen to us, there's built-in mod support, and the physics-based strategizing is brillant. All the DLCs thus far (Moonshot, Hgh Seas) add new weapons that are astoundingly fun to play with, and add so, SO much more variety! It's great. Additionally, if you're in a multiplayer game, only the host of the server needs to own the mods in order for everyone in the game to use it.
Point is, I love Forts. It's a wonderfully crafted game and it's always nice to see a game with devs that listen to the community. Also, one of the moderators is a Hichhiker's fan, so that's pretty schweet too.
