MULLIGAN ON ‘CRAPPY LAUNCH SYNDROME’ [Author: Lum the Mad]

I’m thinking World War 2 Online is a litmus test for the basic honesty of scriveners in our little community. I mean, it’s as if Battlecruiser 3000 AD were released again this year and a large group of reviewers glossed over the whole totally unplayable and crashes after
