We're approaching this with deep respect and appreciation of the game, and agree wholeheartedly with his sentiments." That's awesome, really good to see that comment back from them!

Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I can't say this development has me feeling anything other than lukewarm. Hopefully this will prove to be a good move for everyone involved. Time will certainly tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal truck, train, boat sim Many simulators stumble at realism But making a kerbal version is rather. Liberal and less defined Yep the scope of Little Green PPL building things and then flying driving them around has so many possibilities for fun. Still love the idea of Kerbal Kart racing game.

I see it as Squad can focus on developing the game and its DLC's, while T2 will be taking care of business (every day, every way). It could be much worse. It could have been SOE. They would have changed how everything works and then your hard-earned kerbal skillz (snicker) would be useless. (Yes I'm still bitter over their destruction of the SWG universe). Expanding the Kerbal franchise, hmmm... World of KerbalKraft? Kerbal Kart? Kerbal Flight Program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman4308 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 What I'm wondering is how I'm going to finish off my Space Race victory before Montezuma comes calling. More seriously, I'm cautiously optimistic about this, but if all else fails, well... I still have plenty of DRM-free versions of KSP stored locally.

Red Iron Crown Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I don't get how some people think getting an experienced, successful publisher who's interested in making more KSP involved is a bad thing. Even if you aren't a fan of them, they're still an experienced, successful publisher who's interested in making more KSP. This is really the best news for KSP's future in a long time.

Maybe it's a hipster thing, like "KSP's only good because it's indie" or something like that and because KSP is now "mainstream" (as if it wasn't already a massively acclaimed game) they hate it?

I used to be a Commodore-Amiga man ... spent way too much money & time into the later half of the nineties just to show the PC world what a great line of machines it was ... even after the company went bust. Sort of same attitude Apple users cling to. I understand but in the end it's really just an emotional thing. You can't really defend it rationally. The jump from indie into mainstream ... I was worried before about the future of this company and product. Not anymore. 4 minutes ago, StupidAndy said: I don't think that SQUAD would even consider letting EA get anywhere close to kerbal Anyone sane would grab the pitchforks & torches.

Cpt Kerbalkrunch Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Is there any better way to prove your love for a game than by reading through 13 pages of comments about it being acquired by a new publisher? I love this game. You love this game. We all love this game. Unless the people at Take-Two are complete morons, they see this and will act accordingly. And by that I mean just sign the checks and do the advertising and leave the game's development in the capable hands in which it now resides. I believe this is fantastic news. Squad now has the cash they need to work on the core game, the upcoming expansion, and the sequel that is sure to follow. I have just one worry. IMO Civilization is one of the greatest franchises of all time; with it's peak being Civilization IV (with Warlords being the greatest expansion of all time IMO). However, it completely fell apart with Civ V. The game was utterly ruined and I left the franchise, never to return. KSP is a different animal, though. I think Take-Two will stick with a "hands off" approach. Let's hope so, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansaman Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 14 hours ago, EladDv said: But be sure this is industry wide - look on all the half finished buggy games that are coming out lately. Hey, it isn't like we have not had bugs and stuff before. Take Two and Squad MUST know that part of the amazing results for KSP has not just been the program, but the community and the people who play it and won't stop talking about it. Further, the people that make the mods and have worked so hard make the game so adaptable that it can please almost everybody. If they respect that, all will be well.
