I’ll wait for the updated cracked file. Sorry to the rest of the team but their lead dev is a collosal cunt.

He is a huge mysoginist and transphobe. There was an FFF long time ago, where he defended the infamous Uncle Bob, and when people pointed out in the reddit thread that he is a problematic figure, kovarex came out defending him and insulting so many people in the subreddit that he got his messages removed by moderation. Was a huge clustefuck.

They’re staunchly anti-sale, and the game will not ever be available at any kind of sale price. On top of that earlier this year they increased the price to “adjust for inflation”. When they announced it there was a reddit thread with plenty of criticism in the comments. He proceeded to come in hot, fling shit, and condescend to everyone with the attitude of a grade school bully. It was mildy entertaining tbh. They really need a PR person with a guy like that in the lead.

It’s a fair price. And well everything else has increased in price and especially for Europeans like most of Wube staff.

I mean yeah the price raise is a bit controversy but you getting a crack version doesn’t make you less so of an ass.

And not having sales isn’t a bad thing.

So what it went from $20 to $35? Game has been out for a long time and updated quite a bit in that time. Also if the devs don’t want to put it on sale… that’s their decision 🤷‍♂️

They don’t do any of the other bullshit other big game companies do, and $35 isn’t even close to the $60-70 other games with a much lower playtime ceiling charge.

Without actually reading the content itself, I’d hazard it probably wasn’t great for the dev to go off, but I understand how it could be incredibly annoying to have a bunch of people online crying about a small price increase for. A game they likely already owned.

awesome news !

as expected this will be an “easier” version of space exploration, but that’s not a bad thing, specially for people like me that couldn’t finish space exploration, pretty cool to see that Earendel is on the team as well.

Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player’s approach.

WUBE is probably the only company left that I’d pre-order a game from

One of like three for me. Ghost Ship Games and Re-Logic also have my trust.

Bay 12 Games as well, though I doubt they’ll be putting anything up for preorder for another 30 years or so, lol.

Besides that, I can’t think of any other studios. Been burnt too many times before.

I really appreciate that Earendel also got to voice some lines here. The crossover with the mod is undeniable and him being involved with the company now could have been handled differently elsewhere.
