I might stop after 1.3 since squad will no longer own the game. I have seen TT's other game lineups, and unfortunately, am not optimistic about KSP's future. 1 minute ago, HebaruSan said: That's my interpretation as well. I wonder how that contract looks. Can SQUAD be replaced as KSP dev? Do they have right of first refusal for future titles in the franchise? I would have expected to see the "game studio" division of SQUAD split off and moved along with the IP. Good luck to all involved regardless! Um, the game is now owned by TT. So, with that said... I could see KSP in the future without Squad. 2 minutes ago, KSK said: No problem - I trust you.

DeltaDizzy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) As for all questions about the community, Take Two has said they will support the community. As for if the game goes downhill, there are the "Previous" betas on steam. Edited May 31, 2017 by DeltaDizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartwo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Why stop after 1.3? To prove a point? To spite Squad for making a smart decision? Edited May 31, 2017 by Spartwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaint Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This thread is hilarious. I'm glad that Squad has made a pile of cash on a great game. I hope that Take-Two takes KSP in a good direction, although any takeover like this is fraught with peril. And, yeah, I can't see any way that TTI's first priority for the franchise won't be KSP 2.0. Ground-up rebuild to fix all the previous problems, shiny new full-price release to help recoup their purchase costs, gets them out of all of the free DLC promises.

Because we feel that we'll get DLCs, new games, or more updates like 1.3 (which due to lack of content, I did not update to). Why? Because me and others think we hear a leak aboard this ship. We would like off of it now rather than later. 2 minutes ago, Brent Kerman said: I'm stopping at 1.3 because Take-Two is right at the top of my list of companies to boycott. Loyal reason.

X-SR71 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A bit worried here. KSP managed to do so well without a publisher, selling some 2 million copies. What would a publisher bring to the table now, years after the release, besides a quick cash infusion? I'm sure the money is probably great, but I feel a bit sad Squad decided it would be worth it to sell the rights of their masterpiece which they put so much effort and love into.

I understand why many of you are concerned, but the whole team believes this is a step in the right direction to bring KSP forward. Take-Two values the creative independence of its collaborators and teams, so we’ll continue to operate autonomously and have total creative control, now with the best tools and complete support from Take-Two to realize our vision. And there are many and substantia benefits with this partnership: We are getting a long term commitment from Take-Two to continue with KSP development, as well as their full support in all kinds of aspects, including but not limited to production support, marketing, development, customer support and QA.

Spartwo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) You mean the company that hit hard times because all they really made was 3d platformers which died out, costs of making new games were too high and ended up becoming an in-house developer for Microsoft. The same are releasing a new game this year which looks good and isn't a 3d platformer? Edited May 31, 2017 by Spartwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
