How are the screenshots inaccurate? They're all right from the game.
And why do you think those who like the game are brainwashed as opposed to simply having different tastes than you do?
Sure they are right from the game, but you have to admit screen shots are generally specifically chosen. I have seen many player made videos of SupCom, and they are absolutely amazing. Some of them practically play like a movie. Every single frame is an actual shot of the game but it in no way accurately reflects what happens in the game or regular game play. I sympathize with Danosh30 here.
I don't think brainwashed is the correct term here. I think many people do really like the game. But I think many that many that are buying the game, before reviews are out, are doing so primarily based on the claim that Sins provides an in depth 4X real time experience. I also think many will be sorely disappointed when they actually play it. I am one of those people. It is no more 4X than another other RTS in my view.
The jist of the original post though, I completely support. I think people are looking for a good in depth game which just can't be done on a console. Saying Sins is that game though I think is being somewhat presumptuous.
I don't want to dishearten the work that the team has put into Sins either. It is an excellent accomplishment. I do hope you guys do have success. If you ever plan on making a title that puts a greater emphasis on realism, then I would be the first to sign on
