How Stardock's Elemental: War of Magic Failed

Overview

Brad Wardell, founder of Stardock Corporation, details the difficulties in the development of Elemental: War of Magic, a game that shipped in a largely broken state. A memory error caused the development team to pull features from the game in order to fix the issue, but the concern wasn't resolved by the time the game released. As a result, the original vision for Elemental: War of Magic was never fully realized.
