yeah I remember hearing about that, although I never played Shadow run myself I do know a few people than liked the game.
This is not the point.
The point is that Microsoft
- turned the currently most strongly anticipated wished for pen & papr RPG into
- an MS Vista-only
- Online only
- rules partly changed
fiasco.
And that was when people already began thinking that MS Vista was a failure.
And what really broke this game was its "Vista-only" stance, when people rather waited for Win7 or still bought WinXP because no-one liked Vista.
