Money in politics is the root of all political evil. It is corruption at it's worst.

I believe it went open source. But the game was really dying from months of neglect by the devs and I would say is now pretty much dead.

So, does that mean its unplayable for now? I think I understand what open source means, but I'm not sure how that effects the game.

Well imo the game failed because it tried to do too much. It both tried ground and space and that did not work out too well as you hade to do alot of micromanaging to manage your colonies on the ground.

Also there was no AI NPCs, at all. Which meant that either you found a player to fight with, which is not all that easy, or all you did was manage your colonies/research. This turned out to be boring.

Finally it did not handle combat well, it was way too awkard. Only a few could master it where as the rest thought it was garbage.

The idea was great but the execution, terrible.
