Yeah Theaters of War was their big announcement at their personal convention last year. They wanted to try and get in on the fact that one of the most popular streamers of their game stages mock battles like people are playing Arma or Squad or something. So they did this huge reveal, which was of course underwhelming, and then the game just disappeared from mention for 6 months or so.
Remember that this is supposed to be a game about flying spaceships, and now they're making a poor man's battlefront to go along with it. Nevermind that their current FPS gameplay is horribly bad/broken despite them using an engine designed to make FPS.
The only company brave enough to do this.
