Why so little talk about Magicka?

Magicka is an awesome game. I'll leave it at that.

But why is it so little discussed/even mentioned at The Escapist? Does it really have that small a following? Is $10 on Steam too high a price point? Is it really that poorly realized of a concept?

There have been, and I've seen, many mentions of Magicka. Also discussions about tactics.

It's a fun game. With few issues, but still about worth the price.

I don't have it but have been watching TB and the yogscast play through, which is funny as hell at the start but it's now getting a bit samey with the jokes. Also TB has a love of burning everything and justifys it by saying "X is weak to fire", but it's actually ice that is great against everything.

I think it has some great physics, like freezing water to cross it but I don't think it makes enough of it from what I have seen.

One of my favorite games of all time. It's an absolute blast to play with a couple friends. Sure, it's buggy as hell, but even that's fun. Most of the time.

I liked it enough to upload a full playthrough to youtube ...
However, seeing as it's a game with no difficulty settings, I found it ridiculously easy and haven't played it much since.

Yeah I've seen tons of stuff about that game all over the forums. I haven't played it because I don't do a lot of computer games in general. But I hear good things about it.

I've only played its demo, but it still seemed like epic fun.

Though from all the bug horror stories, I'll hold off buying it until the bugs get sorted.
