No but there are lots of problems with it, and I don't mean the bugs.  The game is not nearly as fun as I was hoping; it feels like they wanted to mix and match a space game(like master of orion or sins of a solar empire) with a new evolutionary concept game(kind of like Portal's half-game style).  But if they're charging $50 for it, then it better damn well be fun, and it's just not.  The part I was looking forward to, the evolutionary part, is way way way way way way too short.  They rush you through like a pregnant woman whose just broken water.

Then you're in space all of a sudden.  But there's only 3 things you EVER have to do in space.  Every five seconds these nagging messages come in to help prevent an eco-disaster, help prevent an attack or raid on a planet, or some damn shit with the grox.  That's it, 3 things to do in the space stage, and they all suck, especially after doing them a hundred times each, it makes space stage completely boring.

It really is like portal, there's about 2 hours of fun in it, but it costs more than twice as much.
