Hard to imagine anyone making such a poor business decision.

Guess didn't see a huge deal myself.  Originally purchased in 2021 for $29.99, with a coupon that had $10 off.  People that own the Epic version can upgrade to Supernova for $15.99.  That brings my total cost to $45.98.  Supernova version on steam for the base version is $49.99, which my total investment is less for the same thing.  Even if didn't have the coupon, I guess my cost would have been around $55.  So at worst case $5 more for playing the game much earlier than Steam release.

That's fair when you break it down like that. However, it would have been really nice if Stardock had thanked early adopters on Epic by giving them a key on Steam. After all, the Supernova version is not available at all on Epic, and as far as I understand, the Epic version is no longer receiving updates. Thus Epic owners are forced to buy on steam if they want to experience the most up to date supported version. Stardock easily could have turned this into a big win rather than rubbing a lot of players the wrong way.

Understand others may not feel same way. but nothing that left a huge bad tastt in my mouth.

Not having much exposure to art, I'm still not comprehending.  I'm your worst pupil.

So, I'll move onto puns:  Don't take everything I say literally. 

That definitely needs even more help.

Actually, I myself thought the vowels were alliteration, and was complementing you on also getting some assonance with the consonants!

So I was also mixed up.

Glad to see this game get some notice. I kind of feel the same way...good, but not great...with a ton of potential. So far, the devs have kept up a good pace of updates.

"More than just atrocious alliteration on my part, I aaapologise!"

It's also assonance! 

Anyway, I attempted to allocate award-points appropriately, but alas: nothing fit so take my points.

Wow, thanks! 

As to my inability to distinguish poetic devices, you'll just have to bear with my naivety!  So, to demonstrate that one person has learned something from this whole exercise: As to assonance, I won't be an ass and assume that the use of a, e, i, o and u again and again is alliteration; it is assonance.  I will constantly contrive to commit the continuance of consonants classifies as alliteration.
