  It’s just a scam though isn’t it? 💣💣💣

    They’re doing way too much work for it to be a scam. Irresponsible, naive, badly managed, sure. It can just be a bad project.

    Its a educated wish.

  It is, it’s also in alpha still. If they were claiming beta in this state I’d be more worried rather than just mad they keep adding stupid shit instead of going full optimization. They have a game, they just need to get it out the door and worry about content in future releases. It’s like the painter who can’t call a painting finished.

    After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.

      Yes and no. On the other side they’ve essentially rebooted development something like 3 or 4 times. So there’s a chance it comes up roses.

        For other games that would be described as development hell

        Oh well if they’ve only started four times then that’s fine. It’s only a problem if they do it 20 times right then we worry but nah, that standard.

    They can claim whatever they want. But if it’s publicly available then it’s a beta regardless of what arbitrary name they give it.

    If it was alpha it should be free.

      The industry definitions of alpha/beta disagree with you.

      Words have meaning and you’re using them wrong.

        You are correct words do have a meaning. A weird thing for you to bring up since you’re the one incorrectly applying labels here.

        Alpha products are available only for internal review, they are not available for public release they are not intended to be viewed by the general populace.

        If you’re charging people money for it then it can’t be an alpha because now it’s an external product not an internal sample.

      Sorry bud you’re just wrong on that one.

        It’s been in development hell for over 10 years it’s not going anywhere slowly. They barely even have a product.

    It’s like trying to trace an outline of a fractal.
