I really liked GalCiv2 (and SoaSE) a lot and advocated them loudly. However, even before this debacle it became clear that Frogboy (Wardell) was a shitheeland I'd never buy anything from again. After fucking with the creators of one of the best games of all time, I became actively against. Origins looked like total ass too (I refuse to call that bullshit "Star Control"). He tried real hard at getting the Master of Magic name similarly for Elemental.
Unfortunately what little has been seen of Ghosts of the Precursors doesn't look great either. Star Control II I think, was great in part due to a perfect storm of elemets that would be hard to replicate. Like, you need the combo of Erol Otus's art with those specific voice actors, plus great writing, etc...A modernized look or sound design, etc, just will not work for it.
