I'm not sure if you can view the thread if you're a member or not, but there's a Gyromancer thread with lot of...negative feedback. The guy gives the impression that they had very little input in the game. Here's a couple of choice quotes:
It [the game] probably sucks because none of us here ever played it [in the design phase]. We didn't even find out about it until about 2 months ago...when it went up on Partnernet. It caused a minor uproar.
Trust me, I wish we would have even known it existed. Would have saved us a buncha headaches.
I wish we would have left our logo off of there. The Steam version of it is crashing.
Yeah me too. I still don't know the whole story about how this all came about, but it was literally something that just sort of showed up.
If you want to think about it this way, it's SE's game with our mechanics.
Staggering...just staggering
