Biggen Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Man this forum is heavily moderated. My post was combined into this post and I’m seeing several posts locked? Whats with the heavy hand of moderating? It’s not like this forum has so much traffic it’s a problem voicing our displeasure about the steam sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to suspect someone was told to put in trivial changes just to have "changes" to keep roll out. More TTI coroporate disinformation.

AVaughan Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I can imaging an automated process that runs an overnight build every night from source control. The build is then automatically uploaded to steam, which shows activity, without anything actually changing other than the build timestamp.

The Aziz Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Then why it doesn't happen on weekends? Btw the builds were just updated a bunch of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a plot for a new Love, Death & Robots episode. 200 years after the KSP-2 team had been dismissed, the Automatic Backup & Upgrade System still keeps trying to solve the bugs, and uploads hotfixes almost every two years. It isn't aware that the ruins on the surface are covered with woods long ago, and that the last computer, matching the KSP-2 system requirements has been gone forty years ago. It even isn't aware of what's the "surface". It just continues its hardworking labor, because many years ago the sysadmin had forgotten to uncheck the "No expiration date" in the Backup&Upgrade scheduler settings. Several forum users, living almost two centuries ago, whose mail accounts were registered on the unofficial test server somewhere in Rocky Mountains, still keep receiving the Steam notifications about the KSP-2 autoupdates, but never respond.

I can't speak to the specific automated system in question, but in my job I can create schedules for any days or times I want. Only want it Mondays? Done. M-F only? Yep. Every other Saturday? You bet. Now, that doesn't mean they have the same capabilities, or that they created a schedule that doesn't include weekends (assuming, of course, that the whole automated update thing is correct). But they could potentially create one that doesn't do weekends. I don't know why they would, but it is feasible. 11 minutes ago, kerbiloid said: It's a plot for a new Love, Death & Robots episode. 200 years after the KSP-2 team had been dismissed, the Automatic Backup & Upgrade Systemstill keeps trying to solve the bugs, and uploads hotfixes almost every two years.

AVaughan Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hey I just worked out TT plan for finishing KSP 2. They figure that chatbots are writing code now. If they wait a few years they will get good enough that they can just feed them the design documents, and out will come a working version of KSP 2.

Pthigrivi Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Everyone should let content makers, their friends, and everyone else know what horrendous business practices this company is engaging in and by rights Valve should intercede and pull this game from being purchased.

Skorj Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The only real news from Belular's vid from a week ago is that he's not at all a KSP channel. In fact, he released his own studio's game The Pale Beyond on the same day that KSP2 came out. So the news about T2's mismanagement moved beyond KSP fandom into a somewhat mainstream gamer news channel. I thought that was nice to see.

Edit: oh, I was just responding to your relevant comment as a segue into the thread merge. I’m not sure on our “views”, we don’t track that way, we look at users and topics, and those can be decades old on some forums.

Devblaze Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Does anyone find it utterly disgusting that the LAST UPDATE KSP2 WILL RECIEVE. Is labeled a loveing "Regular update" Disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) *shrug* It’s just a terminology thing. Of all the issues related to this drama, this goes near the bottom of the list for me.

Scarecrow71 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 2 hours ago, Devblaze said: Does anyone find it utterly disgusting What I'm beginning to find disgusting is the community's reluctance to just finally let it go. KSP2 is dead, the studio is closed, the publisher is on the trading block, and the parent company doesn't give two squats about what is going on. Zero communication from anyone, and the game is a shambles. Why are we still beating this dead horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
