Felsmak Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That might actually make people more angry about getting an unfinished product.The point of my "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" joke was that it was planned to be finished by then. They announce this update to scare everyone, and then they release 1.0. instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JedTech Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If they REALLY want to make some of us happy, what they are planning as 1.0 will be released as .27 (or even .99).I'm voting for .91, that would make me happy.And then a community go-no-go input before announcing 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norpo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 WaitPeople actually believed this?To me it was more obvious than ALT + F4... ...which totally gives you [insert good thing here] and completely doesn't close off your window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyC Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If this really happens, I will probably accept it, as this is the way things must go. But this feels a bit off to me. Maybe it is a giant joke, maybe it is not.. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerolfos Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If they REALLY want to make some of us happy, what they are planning as 1.0 will be released as .27 (or even .99).Oh but they need the cash grab.Remember they hyped up this new announcement, it was simply moar 3d printing promotion cash grab?It might be cool and all, but still, we think were getting something, its simply a big cash grab. Makes this event all the more likely, if you add in how "fast" the game has went to full release. And then look at the changes and time period... it feels so dang rushed.

Rosco P. Coltrane Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 What?! I started reading thinking it was some kind of joke... as it turned out, it IS a joke, a very bad joke. You seriously want me to buy the privilege of using smilies? Seriously?! I'm sorry, but WHAT THE .... ARE YOU THINKING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magico13 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Oh, good! I figured it had to be, there was no way Squad could do something that obviously messed up. I mean, who thinks that adding Clippy is a good idea?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is a giant joke, maybe it is not.. I dunno.If by that you mean "Leave the forums and never look back, to boycott Squad and their inevitable new games for all time", then yes. I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen_Heart Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Took me too long to realise its a joke.I'm going to need a drink after reading that.... preferably something strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam_Jones Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is it April 1st already? Gosh, I must be 20-odd days behind...Really tho, I do hope this is a joke. Not exactly in good taste, either, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockowwc Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I emailed [email protected] about this and got a response to look at the date 1 week from wednesday.. However the announcement is far from clear on this date, which is what i think is bringing about the confusion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just scanned the planned feature list before coming here, so I didn't see the glaring flaws that it had...This is still in incredibly poor taste, though. And I hate to make things personal, but Cap'N Skunky or Rowsdower probably wouldn't have gone this far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudgetHedgehog Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) This will be my only post on this topic, I hope it covers everything.Either this is an April Fools joke posted at the wrong time in which case, just no, or it's serious, in which case, very much no.EDIT out the long ass post I made while people were posting elsewhere:Really? An April Fools joke? 12 days before April Fools? Jesus guys, talk about a sense of timing.. this is the kind of announcement you make ON April 1st, not 12 days beforehand, no matter what the 'a week next Wednesday' is on about.. And here I thought they had some sense.. Edited March 20, 2015 by ObsessedWithKSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam_Jones Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I like April Fool's jokes and all, but hey, let's try to make sure they only happen ON April 1st, eh?Not sure my boss would be understanding if I said I quit today, then came back on April 1st all "JK LOL APRIL FOOLS LOLOLOL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
