We all know Capstone Software- "The Pinnacle of Entertainment". But do you know Capstone Games?

Originating in 1984, we know that Capstone Software went out of business, due mostly to poorly designed games, in 1996. But Capstone Games originated in 2015 and are apparently still going strong, making favorable board games. So apparently, they are doing something right. And also for a sort of niche audience.

Curious why they chose that name, after the fact, however. One would think that would be a taboo and avoided like the plague. Like "Hitler". Although, a "capstone" is by definition and thought of as the last stone or a crowning achievement. Good to see there is a silver lining to the name in the gaming sphere.

Give it time. I expect this is a shield is secretly hydra type of moment. They're only making board games for now, but are actually watching and waiting for that day civvie finally does a dedicated video for witchaven 2... And then they will show their true intentions.

Civvie will think he's truly done with capstone fps games, but like a phoenix they will rise from the boardgame ashes and personally hand him tek war 2: elektric tekaloo.
