One of the problems is that there is a
lot of “shovel-ware” (hastily made, poor quality software)
inundating the market. The ease of putting something online for sale
has caused gamers to exercise much more caution and to value every
dollar they spend—most of us have been burned by a bad game
purchase at some point and we resent being conned out of our money,
even if it’s just a couple dollars. Thankfully, some online vendors
like Sony have quality-control that prevents shovelware from being
sold on their storefront. Often, screenshots or even video previews
of the game are included on the storefront to get a glimpse of the
game beyond its sensationalized text description. Despite all this,
however, we gamers usually look for user feedback. How many stars was
it rated? Any comments about the game? Unfortunately, most people
never return to rate the game, review it, or comment unless there was
something about it they really didn’t like—then they feel they
ought to warn other gamers. I finally remembered to go back to the
game page and rate the game I bought this weekend (5 stars) when I
had to end my game session. I was honestly too busy having fun to
think about letting other people know!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
