    Posted · Edited by BrutalRIP

    the problem is "the most up to date version of the game" will soon be 1.1beta and will only be available via steam

    look no matter which way you spin it the none steam users have been lied to wether its for the best or not

    Are you taking yourself serious even?  

    Also, Squad would more than likely let everyone move over to Steam. But you may want to look a bit closer. There is another party involved - Valve.
    Imagine you have store - as big as it might be - and someone else comes in "Oh, I will just put these packages into your shelves, my customers will come here frequently to pick them up, please make sure they are only taking what is theirs, and clean the shelves so they look nice, and obviously you will not get any money, as they are my customers, my product and they already paid my company for it! Have a nice day!"

    Yeah that was supposed to be sarcastic but I understand it gets lost on the net.

    Oh and just to make my feelings

    IMO. In general this is a great idea and would rather it be this way than not at all

    Alienating some of the community is not a great idea

    I understand the why's etc just think the whole situation could have been handled a lot better.any I'm done with this thread we can argue all we want it is what it is..just don't expect me to be happy about it and not express my dissatisfaction

    That is literally exactly what has happened.

    Up until version 1.0 all versions were pre-release, including the 0.90 "beta", and all were available through all outlets. The FAQ on the website and comments from Squad representatives said that Steam, store and all other outlets were treated equally with regard to having access to new versions, and labored to point out that Steam would not be getting new releases first. It is hard to see how this new policy can be seen as anything but backtracking on that.

    People made decisions on where to buy the game based on what was told to them, there's a reason that point was addressed in the FAQ. I've gifted two copies of KSP to friends, and I bought them from the store because there was supposed to be no difference and it put more money in Squad's hands as opposed to buying on Steam and giving a portion to Valve. Now I look like an idiot for paying the same price for a store copy when a Steam copy includes early access at no additional cost.

    People can get nitpicky about what constitutes a release, a prerelease, or a version; I don't really care about that as I'm not trying to put together a legal case and semantic games miss the point anyway. The simple fact remains that Steam users will be able to play the game with 1.1's features before users who bought elsewhere, when previously it was made emphatically clear that Steam would not get earlier access.

    totaly agree with this

    If by the 'full ksp experience' you mean a potentially unplayable (in the normal way), buggy version that you have to update at at least daily to see if it's better than the one you tried yesterday then you may just have a point. :cool:

    having that option to would be nice.........yes

    all just feels like a kick in the teeth to the people that bought from the store

    Sorry BrutalRIP, but as you joined up after KSP was released on Steam I assume you bought KSP after the cut-off.

     

     

    You've had three years of fun in KSP so far, that's hardly being "ripped off".

    Yeah in hindsite i was a bit harsh,i should have said left out,missed the date to transfer to steam by 1 month ;.;
