How often and since when? I'm pretty sure the original came from Skidrow & Reloaded, though the timestamps are a bit weird. I get the impression that requesting through IGG is hit and miss, though the requests page presents a 100% same day request fulfillment. This kind of manipulation via selective reporting leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, but after comparing releases from other sites with this it seems that the uploads are simply cloned regardless of request without (at least in the case of Horizon's Gate) providing any credit.
I'm not saying this is true of all uploads, just a few. It's a lot of work trawling for original uploads and I simply CBA to do all that to fact check this comment. What I've seen is enough for me to be upset enough to post this and relegate IGGGAMES to a backup source, any further digging and I might not bring myself to use the site at all. Which is a shame.

if IGG or mods own a game we will upload / update it on request. some games are donated or taken from scene releases, so its not as easy to update and there are alot of requests per day, so there are many reasons as to why this game isnt updated but i dont feel like its "manipulative" in any way

Sure, I understand all that, I was pretty upset about it all yesterday.
However, the wording on the request page is clearly manipulative, unless you draw a very specific definition of manipulative. Every day a list is presented titled "List of games requested today: (****)". The following list contains games followed by "(Uploaded)". There are no games that are not followed by "(Uploaded)". A casual user will therefore likely infer that IGG-GAMES are hot stuff and fulfill almost every request on the same day. I couldn't conclude whether the manipulation is intentional or not, but the fact remains that it manipulates.

i see why you feel that way now, the list of updated & uploaded games isnt supposed to make it seem like %100 of requests are fulfilled, instead its for people to see if the game their request has been accepted so they can stop requesting it and that leaves room for requests about the games that have not been uploaded or updated yet. sorry for the confusion.

No worries, after reading your comment I went back with that perspective in mind and can see it now. The wording is ambiguous, hence why I didn't draw that conclusion myself. How about changing the wording to "List of game requests fulfilled today" ?
Also, a slight change in colour between "Uploaded" and "Updated" appendices would help legibility. I confess I only just realised this moment that "Updated" was even there! If I had noticed that sooner I might have come to a different conclusion.

Found out i had the same problem with the other 2 games from the company, thus i searched for knowledge and found out a guy who solved it 3 years ago, so THANK YOU doge boy from alvora tactics igg page. Once i downloaded and installed XNA Framework all of my games from this company runs smoothly.

I've tried redownloading from GDrive for W10 and it won't start. This is the only game in IGG I've ever had this issue, what could possibly be the problem?

I tried compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP but it still won't run. I'm completely in a loss of why it won't run. Hope someone find out how to run it cause I have no idea what else to do.

I can confirm it works out-of-the-box by unzipping and launching BoatTactics.exe. W10, Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU.

As far as I know IGG doesn't spread bad stuff. I've had zero problems since day 1 and it was some time ago. Don't know anyone who had any problem neither.

You know "likes" and downvotes don't reflect real life right? Who cares! Online is full of toxic people, it doesn't take a genius.

The GDrive link works once unzipped and launched from BoatTactics.exe. W10, Intel and Nvidia.

No offence, but ... honestly ... why does it matter ? Why even care ?
Why take so personally something as artificial as someone you don't know or care about pressing a button ? People downvote for any number of reason.
And if you whine about it they might downvote for that. Or your nickname. Your pic. The color of your shoes.
People being people. For your sake, learn to live with it.

Glad to see another turn-based game. Too many hack and slash games.

I find it's all about the implementation. Most turn based and real time games make me yawn if they're repetitive and dull, which most are. I get the impression most game companies prioritise profit, and that Steam propagates this. However, Horizon's Gate is a gem that's currently being polished but you can already see it's not run of the mill.

yes, you got the points there, if only it is a hack and slash, it will be more fun, not as a Turn Base Tiles game

A rhetorical device wherein the speaker or writer brings up a subject by either denying it, or denying that it should be brought up. Accordingly, it can be seen as a rhetorical relative of irony.

If most people do not agree with your opinion wherever you go, then you should consult the only constant: yourself.
For some reason, people can be really impolite at sharing their opinion. Nobody likes that. A little advice i would give is to always be polite, even if your opinion happens to be to throw shit at others (in such case, it's better to not share that opinion in the first place).
