For some players, winning this order doesn’t feel like a real victory. Defending 10 planets at once was already hard, and some technical problems made it even tougher. So, the game developer, Joel, stepped in to make it easier. They adjusted the game to help players fight back against the overwhelming odds.

Even though many players appreciate the help, some feel like they didn’t earn the win. It’s caused arguments on Reddit, with some players saying they’d rather lose fair and square.
Others think the early problems with the game made it too hard to communicate and coordinate, so the developer had to help out. They see it as a reward for players’ efforts.
Overall, some players feel like it’s a fair trade-off. They lost some ground in the game’s story, but they also got medals for winning the Major Order.
