Just thinking about the quotes, in RPS's bit about the expansion Adam Smith writes that AI War is ""One of those games I suspect other studios would have tried to emulate if they could work out how." I'm not sure you could put that in without sounding horrifically smug, I just thought it sounded really cool.
(And then RPS predicts that AI War will start to infect other games, teaching them to plot your doom)
I thought that was super cool, too. Just finished reading their article about it.
