I can't speak to the specific automated system in question, but in my job I can create schedules for any days or times I want. Only want it Mondays? Done. M-F only? Yep. Every other Saturday? You bet. Now, that doesn't mean they have the same capabilities, or that they created a schedule that doesn't include weekends (assuming, of course, that the whole automated update thing is correct). But they could potentially create one that doesn't do weekends. I don't know why they would, but it is feasible. I so want to see this on LD&R now.

Dude, it isn't conjecture or speculation. The WARN notice literally indicates the closure of the studio. Go look it up.

Yes, it is. Officially. The WARN literally states it is closing.

I realize that we aren't a very large section of the overall gaming community, and that we probably don't generate a whole lot of income for companies. I also realize that this is a pretty niche genre as far as games go, and it isn't as popular as an FPS or that auto theft title that has millions of players. I get it. With that said, we are a tight-knit and dedicated community, passionate about this franchise and the possibilities for gaming in its universe. We have a really dedicated section of players who actively look to improve the game through mods, and several people who stream videos simply to help others get involved and off the ground (literally and figuratively). And it makes me angry that Take Two and their corporate mouthpiece @Nate Simpson treated us so poorly. We were consistently lied to during initial development, and then after EA dropped we were almost wholly ignored. And now that IG is shut down and a lot of people are out of work, we can't even get a simple statement as to what happened or why. Heck, we only found out this was going to happen thanks to the laws of the state of WA. My thanks and condolences go out to the staff who were on the front lines dealing with the fallout. My anger and disgust is directed at Take Two and Nate. I will never support another title from Take Two, and I certainly won't dive into anything that Nate is associated with.

Eve and Laythe? I've got more than 1000 hours in KSP1 and I've never gone to and returned from either. Guess that makes me an amateur.

This show is over say goodbye Say goodbye (bye-bye) Say goodbye Make them laugh it comes so easy When you get to the part where you're breaking my heart (breaking my heart) Hide behind your smile All the world loves a clown (just make 'em smile) (the whole world loves a clown) Wish you well I cannot stay You deserve an award for the role that you played (role that you played) No more masquerade You're one lonely star (one lonely star) (you don't know who you are) I've always been in love with you (always with you) I guess you've always known it's true (you know it's true) You took my love for granted Why oh, why?

@The Space Peacock cobbled together one last KERB on Discord. https://discord.com/channels/1039959585949237268/1039965578754007060/1256275557033836595

Lets not forget that recently we were informed that TT might actually be trying to sell PD. Wanting the show to go on and it actually going on are 2 different things. And you want it to continue when all signs point to it being over.

I don't disagree with you. But you are asking to have an update done to a game that was announced as having development finished prior to them releasing the sequel into EA. And you didn't provide any context in your original post about why you wanted the launcher gone, so naturally, I and others gave you options.

That's...not really news, though. Today is the last day the studio is open. We knew this was going to happen today. We knew development would stop.

Open the folder location and create a desktop shortcut directly from the KSP executable.

I think the sentiment is that people are disgusted that TT is trying to get one last breath's worth of money out of this before it goes the way of the dodo, after having not given any information on the game or its future (although we all know/assume it's dead). I think that's what people find disgusting, not that the game is still available. I do agree that anyone who purchases the game at this point is just blind. Reviews are available, news is available (what little there is), the forum is still up and running, Reddit hasn't gone anywhere. You buy this unpolished lump of organic matter at this point and you are just throwing money away.

That isn't surprising. Not to me, anyhow. Today is the last day the lights are on, but they are still on today. Which means that, if anyone is actually employed there through today AND they are still working, I'm not surprised that some work is being done. With that said, I'm surprised anyone who is still employed is actually doing anything of value. I know people don't want to go out on the wrong foot, and they want to make sure that they don't burn any bridges. But me? I'd be all like "Um, no, last day, not doing anything, think I'll take lunch early".
