Superfluous J

Like any of the big streamers care. They're happy for the furor over it because it drives ad views.

EA worked for a couple years when indie developers used it to promote and fund good games that publishers would have probably ruined. See: FTL. Factorio. KSP. Darkest Dungeon. If a publisher who makes so much total money that the financing of a game is akin to an error on their tally sheet, makes that game EA, then no it's not even remotely in the "spirit" of EA. But that spirit's been dead* for so long it doesn't really matter anymore. I won't sign your petition. Not because I don't agree with it but because Internet petitions aren't worth the paper they're printed on. *can a spirit die?

No. It was worth it TO ME when I paid for it though, which was after For Science! came out. I should add, when KSP2 was originally released, I took a week off work not specifically just to play it, but playing it a lot was in the plans. When the game came out and the streamer party they had showed that the game was really truly not what I was hoping for, I decided to not just not give KSP2 my $50 but also not give it the time THAT I HAD SPECIFICALLY SET ASIDE FOR IT.

I do. And I bet a lot of the rest of us will now going forward.

A brilliant marketing move, or a very luckly coincidence for them. I try Juno a couple times a year since buying it, and have never played it for more than an hour before setting it aside again. I don't know how much of my issues with it are "that's not how KSP does it" and how many are "okay that's objectively bad" but I just... never enjoy playing it. Maybe they didn't like the progress on all the games all 4 studios were making. Seems like maybe the problem isn't IG so much as PD.

I had a similar day. Took a walk, and 2 minutes into it had to take shelter from a thunderstorm that lasted all of 5 minutes. Then I went for ice cream and while standing in line, had another 5 minute shower interrupt an otherwise nice time. Luckily Handel's has awnings

Really it's the fault of the Chinese. Had they never invented fireworks, Filipe would never have played with them as a kid and gotten the idea for KSP in the first place.

Wacky theory #721: This is all a clever ploy so we stop asking them to tell us everything every step of the way.

Shorter answer:

Not me. I've got plenty of better things to do and do you really think someone's going to call him and let him know the "real" information?

You expect a lot of those to not have already bought the game?

Yeah delete posts and lock threads I'm sure that will calm people down.

I speculate that the layoffs were so several teams could be liquidated and the remaining employees be put to work on KSP 3. You're right this is fun. And now a "reporter" can say that's what is "reportedly" happening.

I'm not. Through all of this (like, the past 5 years) all I've tried to stay is confined to known facts.

I love the thought that they're all chock full of information they can legally spill yet were just waiting for someone to tag them and call them out. "Oh. Sorry I was watching Fallout. Yeah we're boned. Enjoy your weekend."

"Reportedly" AKA "Someone said it. Who cares who that was or how much inside info they have." Reporting sucks these days. Video Game Reporting doubly so.

Finally we'll get Kerbal Kart Racing, Kerbal Kong, and Flappy Kerbal! You can sue for a lot of things. You won't win, but you can sue.

Like everything else on this entire forum, I'll wait for official word before I decide anything.

Therefore they cannot do it? Note, I have no idea if they can do it or not. I have no idea if they have an answer or not. I'm just not basing my opinion of a game that's not even playable on what I can think of and what I can imagine them doing. It just seems like you're pre-disappointing yourself to make sure when colonies come out, you're ready for the real thing.

Like I said elsewhere, people don't want communication. They never did. People want to be told what they want to hear, and they want that to also be the truth. Anything less will be met like this. I hope they keep communicating in spite of it. I less and less make the mistake of reading the comments after these kinds of posts, but do enjoy reading the first post still.

It seems to me you're setting up the rules so you cannot be happy, and then are being not happy as a result. I too would like this, but am content to wait until they actually say something specific about it before I decide I won't like it.

OMG COMPUTER GENERATED CLOUDS IN A VIDEO GAME People were asking for something. ...I can't think of the word. I think it was... ... Oh yeah. Communication. The point of the post was communication.

This totally made me think of one of my all-time favorite pieces of fan fiction, Troops

I agree with that first part, but the 2nd part was established in Empire (though partly not verified until Jedi), when they established that the only 3 known and still living people who could use the force were a dad and his 2 kids.

Great update. Looking forward to more. Also good to hear some sticky bugs are getting fixed, I'm sure they were a pain to figure out and address. Those clouds are amazing, can't wait to fly through them!
