In hindsight, he agrees with the bad review in Computer Gaming World (see MobyRanks), the strategy guide turned out to be pathetic and he didn't receive any royalties from it at all. So when PC Gamer hired him for the review, he really thought Ascendancy was a great game, and he failed to see the conflict of interest. So he had no other choice but to play the game non-stop for two weeks, becoming eventually obsessed with it. However, the developers failed to give him any information on the game, not even technology trees, and a one-month deadline. Summarized, he needed money to pay off repairs on his house and therefore gladly agreed to write the strategy guide. In Computer Gaming World #151 (February 1997), a letter by William Trotter was published in which he shared his view on the matter. Downloaded both, the no-CD Ascendancy Version and the Antagonizer. :lol: Tried that Sojurn Mod, does not work. However, the individual who reviewed the game for PC Gamer also turned out to be the author of the game's Strategy Guide, leading many to wonder if the review had been padded in order to boost sales of the Strategy Guide. Would be a Reason for me getting an iPad. PC Gamer gave the game high marks, and made it an Editor's Choice game. A minor scandal surrounded the PC Gamer review of Ascendancy.
