This is quite annoying. I have been looking forward to this game for
over a year.

It is 'just' a strategy game, no real time action first person
shooter, so why those high requirements? Did they expect the (wrong)
target audience of shooter players with expensive 'modded' hardware to
attract for a strategy game?

I think it is just another demonstration of misguided management of
business administration people and todays' programmers doing too much
buggy bloatware because of too little development time and too few
quality assurance.
