Excuse me, shovel, the time hasn't coming yet.

Great, does it mean I can take my shovel and dig my hope out of the grave again? It's lot of work considering how deep I had to dig the hole after all.

Steam forums are full of trolls, don't trust it too much. There were always these hand full of users provoking the readers throughout the entire development time with just 1-3 empty sentences, trying to get points. Palworld forums is similar ("game dead", "Pokemon rip off, you get sued"), only difference the game generally received way more positive reviews. Might also be interesting, but don't bother looking for something clear:

Thought it was a Piñata.

Hack like fixes will never be better than actual fixes, but will always appear to be better for any layman. Alone the fact that KSP2 uses more cores makes it a way better base to build on, yes. Although, potential became useless in the very moment when development dropped. Enough said.

The economical reality, the legal reality or the gamer reality? Steam is in a good position to not care and they additionally profit from that. In legal terms, you just lack of clear enough evidence. Nothing will happen for now. This remembers me more on the ludicrous Reddit drama rather than the Helldivers success. Companies go where money is. Simple. Regardless of mismanagement, if T2 would have got to reach their revenue goal they probably would have developed it a little bit further at least.

That's just doomscrolling at this point. I know it, you know it, everybody else knows it. Steam won't take the game off without good economical or legal reasons as they benefit very big from every single sale. Also, KSP2 reviews are bad enough to act as a red flag by now and every new buyer has his rights on refunds. Go into the Steam forum once and you're informed. Fair enough.

Because they probably weren't really lying when they claimed "The label continues to make updates to Kerbal Space Program 2" after all. Unfortunately, the community can only rely on their own perception thus making their own conclusion despite having half the picture - and their wording just made it worse to interpret what they said. Some of us here are developer for themself and that might give us a very accurate picture what could be, but we still don't know the exact situation in the background. Remember when Micheal stated: "I am still working until late June to ensure all my work is left in good hands. "? Given that there is a support group too, the most accurate positive conclusion now is that we might get the support team to make the main work in snail speed work after June with additional little growth in dev count. Maybe that's what it turns out to be by end of June. Or they just bet for it at least.

Excuse me, but ripping all the hacks off and actual fixing the old bugs is a lot of brutal work that isn't visible right away. We have no idea how much focus was in there. That's a mere assumption.

Yeah, but if there is an end on a certain date (and be it for a smaller part of the NDA) it would most likely include the last day in month, meaning you should add +1 day to that. I get that it's probably not happening anyway, but it makes more logical sense regards to any kind of contracts. I have yet to met the first person preferring binary date formats.

I would rather take 01.07.2024. Chances are the NDA includes the last day in month, but I think 'never' is actually more likely. The only information I do need however is whether we get an game update after June or not or if the IP get sold to another company. That will lead to usable results eventually, even though I prefer more dense text regards to this drama.

I wasn't well aware of the difference between faith and belief in the English language it seems - replace 'belief' with 'faith' in both of my posts in this case. I certainly didn't mean it in 'conviction' terms, if that's a right synonym.

Bugfix/support team which were not working at IG. That's how I understood it.

So, does disbelief in climate change make you more scientific? Absolutely not. Believing in facts is a necessary. You would end up in conspiracy theory territory otherwise. Obviously that misconception is the reason why conspiracy theorists are somewhat successful. They think because of their disbelief they are right, just no one understand them. But that's plain wrong. Belief doesn't generally exclude being skeptical.

Sometimes I wish that people would better accept naivety instead of burning it down like it's a deadly poison. Theology teaches you need to believe in something to make it happen. This counts for science too. Science is only so successful because people believe in science, not because they are skeptical to it. Awesome mind setting imo.

Yeah, really long shot. No, colonies seems impossible to me. You need to wonder why they would pull so few fixes into one patch just to implement a lot more of it 2 weeks later. Okay, because Nate said multiple patches,... If we want a obligatory legal excuse... But really? I don't think so. Nate also said there are a lot of performance improvements needed for colonies. This can't be it.

Yes, I saw it meanwhile. It's very tiny compared to previous patches. Band-aid size maybe.

I'm speechless.

What's that? https://imgur.com/a/hD196Fp Is it actually happening now?!

So, the staging depot got an update. Since I only see staging updates very shortly (few days) before new versions emerge I guess it's about time for the next patch to come out. This one is a real nail biter. Fits perfectly fine here, right?

Probably right, but you're wrong with your latter statement. Steam does refund despite the standard rules if certain circumstances are allowing it. Albeit It may depend on your initiative it's only a matter of the legal situation whether you get your refund or not. Steam will have to follow the laws. Willingly or not.

My whole focus lied on Satisfactory most of the time. So, no. Upgrading my 2200G to a 5800X3D was a no brainer with that game and board and I planned to replace my 15 years old monitor (VGA only, it became somewhat urgent) anyway. So I slowly built something which would fit my planned 1440p system with reasonable overall performance. I also plan to skip AM5 and hope I can use the parts for a really long time now. Still, I bought and received my OLED monitor with KSP2 in my mind just 2-3 days before reading about the layoffs. It was really hard to decide between IPS and OLED and now I have a little bitter aftertaste. Well, still a nice screen! The blacks are crazy!

I was turning in too late for all this drama. Basically, I bought KSP1 sometime in 2020, played the the hell out of it and noticed some trailers on Youtube a good while later. There was literally no reason to worry about anything. Even EA and some lags didn't really bother me at this point. But the negativity before the game was even launched was very surprising to me to say the least. Reading ungrounded claims from typical toxic Steam trolls isn't really new, so who cares. As far as I understand development, appearance does not necessarily mean what's actually working under the hood. 3 years of education in basic development languages (high school stuff) and years of observation on developer working on an open source project had taught me enough here: Most gamers have no idea what's going on in development anyway. I have Strong bias to this. When self described developer entered the Steam forums I got to think they are rather trolls or on the less bright side if they aren't working in a whole other area anyway. I mean, being well educated doesn't really mean you're also intelligent. That's to pair of different socks to me and what would an intelligent human want in such a toxic place? So, because there wasn't that much positivity I was just signing up here and waited for some patches until FS! released. 0.2.1 has me convinced it will go it's way. It just takes it's time. No problem at all. It's about quality fixes after all. Better than cheap and fast hacks. But really, what do I know about developing? When some developers here were actual criticizing with refined arguments, that got me worried. But not as much until I understand there is a firing going on with the possibility that this project will get frozen. Nope, I didn't really saw anything coming. But since Shadowzone dropped his history video I understand quite a lot why this project has huge problems. I just missed that perspective.
