Supreme Commander

1001 Video Games

Supreme Commander appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.

Development

The original Supreme Commander design included 500 different units. However, this had to be abandoned very fast when the team faced the much higher production costs per unit compared to Total Annihilation.

Online servers

The game's online servers (GPGNet) which were hosted on Quazal were shut down on 1 March 2012. The Steam version was migrated to Steamworks infrastructure by 19 March 2012. Retail serial keys could be redeemed on Steam. The subsequent GOG.com version had multiplayer disabled entirely, despite LAN being unaffected by these changes.
