Even though I'm part of the problem since I never played it, the guys designing Battleship Galaxies and expansions were super stoked about it and thought it would be the next Heroscape.
Then they said F it and made Summoner Wars real. That could have used a larger player base too.

I find I wish more games had better scaling to lower player numbers. Games that say 2+ yet need more to be good, like Wiz-War for example, are technically playable with 2 yet not as good as with more. I just am rarely ever able to get more than 2 other people besides me to a table.
I think any game that isn't the new hotnizz, is hard to get to the table. I often encounter the attitude of "That game is older than a year? Never been there, will never do that."
Whats a dedicated fanbase anymore? I know of few such creatures.
