Whereas Relic lets the community suffer due to GAMEBREAKING balance issues and bugs, Eugen Systems might overlook some issues, but these are hardly gamebreaking.
are you sure about that? from the time of release until the first DLC (which was about four months...) competitive play was ruined because the ENTIRE Redfor side couldn't compete with mixed blufor decks. the only competitive group that played red during this time was a clan from Russia/Eastern Europe.
after that, the game was somewhat balanced. however, there were and still are some units that can be easily abused in competitive play. I can go into more detail if you'd like, but to avoid completely derailing this thread with a book I'll hold off.
and if you doubt my opinions as just being some whiner 10v10 pub star, there are several casted replays of me on youtube from various people. My in game name was NATO Potato.
