After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yes and no. On the other side they've essentially rebooted development something like 3 or 4 times. So there's a chance it comes up roses.

For other games that would be described as development hell

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yup, I acknowledge that it's in development hell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Hell is a crucible that produces gods and ash.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Do the developers want to create a god, or are they happy to take the money and let it crumble to ash?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

There is "this game needs some more baking in the oven" and then there is "let's stick it in the oven and forget about it, hopefully it'll get incinerated and we can take everyone's money".

Oh well if they've only started four times then that's fine. It's only a problem if they do it 20 times right, then we worry, but 4 times, nah, that's standard.

I'm not saying this is normal. Why are you so hellbent on making me look like I am?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why you so hell-bent on defending fraud?

I don't know who pissed in your cheerios this morning but it wasn't me.
