Having just recently played through Armageddon I can confirm it does have its moments. The DLC (Path to War) is utter shit, though.

Oh well. 70 cents isn't too much damage.
I guess they were in a hurry to kick it out the door and close them down.
It's a sad story that one. Because Guerrilla didn't sell fast enough for the publisher's liking they were told to make the next one more third-person shooter-y. But I bet if they looked now, Guerrilla has a huge following who'd line up for a similar game no problem.

Fyi Final Fantasy 14: Realm Reborn is free for the next ~12 days if you want to check it out.

The direction for Armageddon was definitely forced by THQ, I researched this a while ago.
In the post-THQ era, things are kind of a mess now. The developer Volition is owned by Deep Silver, but the game rights are with Nordic Games. Two different game publishers working together is not unheard of (eg Disney + Warner teaming up to make a couple of Lego games), but I'd say it's unlikely.
In related news, we might be seeing (

Make a multiplayer version of it and I'd do something I never do and pre-order it.

I still hold out some irrational hope that someone could make a multiplayer mod for it like Just Cause 2.
Certainly put that game back up the charts, so it's not like there's no incentive on Nordic's part.

Note that CiV without Brave New World is a decent and entertaining game, but definitely does
not belong in a list of "Games You Must Play". With BNW it would, but the version on that list lacks this vital expansion.

Jagged Alliance Flashback is 66% off on Steam, apparently. For some reason I was able to get it for 81% off (maybe because I own the last few JA games?). It's the digital deluxe edition which includes Space Hulk and JA1 Gold. Not a bad deal for $10.
On a side note, we have a "bargain deals discussion" thread for stuff that isn't just listing deals. I dunno if I think it's necessary, but no one seems to use it anymore.
