I also find it hard to believe that only 35% of people have played AI War. If they don't play it why do they have the game in the first place.
Lots of people buy games like AI War when they are super cheap, forget they have it, and just haven't got around to it yet.
Also, I've never won a game. Though I've come very close. I never really re-load after a loss, preferring instead to try again from scratch. I'll get there some day!
