Square Enix Announces Supreme Commander 2

arcticstoat writes "Supreme Commander 2 has now been officially announced, but with a surprise publishing partner on board — Square Enix. Gas Powered Games' original RTS game and its expansion pack, Forged Alliance, were published by THQ, who is no stranger to the RTS genre, but Square Enix has previously specialized in Japanese RPGs such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Explaining the move, Square Enix said in a statement that it 'has previously worked exclusively with Japanese development companies, so the decision to form strategic partnerships with developers located outside of Japan serves as a new cornerstone of its strategy to create games targeted primarily at consumers in Europe and North America. Additionally, Square Enix Group's foray into the real-time strategy genre is a significant expansion of its product lineup.'"

"But that's how you play it..."

so boring playing just one game and just one way. i've got about 6500 games on battle.net and i could not have done that with a single strategy for each race. heck i couldn't even remain sane playing that much and there were many people pulling me away from warcraft.

but just imagine how much happier say for instance pigs in some giant factory farm would be if they could play warcraft all day. sure with a short life span they're not going to learn how to play games that well, but if while in the womb they get training in how to play while their minds develop... but then all the factory farms need to have a good data network so all the pigs can play video games all day.

and maybe they don't all have to play war games, maybe a variety of games they can be trained in, so they can at least live and die happy.

sure beats the hell out of smelling the awful shit smell and knowing you live in a cage, being force fed food for someone else who likes pork... in a factory farm the methane can all be collected and used instead of venting outside (natural gas and methane are compatible exchanges)

and we don't have to stop with pigs, cows, chickens, turkey... don't get me started on what i can think of, I'm labeled paranoid schizophrenic, but I'm also labeled Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
