Guessing your thoughts have to do with current world events, I understand the reasoning but KSP is not a politically oriented game and the timing is probably a coincidence and the date isn't that big a deal in terms of releasing a game about space frogs, if anything KSP 2 would be a sort of hopeful message to the world in trying times. Also I don't think we can discuss politics here so yeah Edited October 21, 2022 by Minmus Taster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I had to dig through Wikipedia to find what you were on about, so it shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here its just "Digital learning" and "Introduce a girl to engineering day", part of "Engineering week", and "National Chili day", which are all perfectly wholesome.

TROPtastic Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Personally I think February 23, 2023 has much better rhyming potential, but I imagine that their thought process for Feb. 24 2023 went something like this: We will be able to release in Spring 2023 The game will be EA-ready in late February or early March, and we want to get players feedback and buy-in as soon as possible We want to release on a Friday (Private Division probably has plenty of sales data on which day of the week is best for sales) Thus: Feb. 24 I'm pretty plugged into the war in Ukraine (not mentioning any political opinions, just acknowledging the fact that there is a war going on), and even then I didn't immediately connect the two dates. I think most people won't judge Intercept and PD for releasing on Feb. 24 since doing so would set the bad precedent that we can never do anything positive on that day.

Kerbart Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 March 1st? To celebrate the German invasion of Bulgaria? Why pick that date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why did you decide that there will be a celebration? We will be offered to buy a very unfinished game, which will probably have a lot of bugs. Maybe it will be a day of fan rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If you look hard enough you can find something terrible that happened on any given day. One's as good as another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
