It makes No Mans Sky's release look astounding

I can agree with this, I was just trying to state that they very well knew that first impressions mattered.

Well considering that the main reason for a lot of the delays were that they knew that first impressions count, I'd believe it's more our fault than theirs. I understand that there is a lot of controversy, but had it not been for us getting pissy for release and had we been patient. We might've gotten the game later, but it would've been in a better stance.

How about this for a piece of understanding. If at the moment, there were to be a closed alpha (this is alpha btw), then they would not receive any new players. If it does take them until 2020 to release the actual beta, and they are not able to make any more money off of this game, because I'm very certain that players wouldn't wanna buy a game they have to wait two years to get into, then how are they going to continue development. I understand your frustration with there being a promised closed alpha, but riddle me with. With a low amount of players, and the players that are done with the game already leaving. How're they going to fund, find bugs, and develop this game.

I definitely myself want them to break all the "game-breaking" bugs before release, but general gameplay bugs would be a lot easier to find when you have a few thousand people playing at once, messing around and doing things the developers might not have thought of.

They just released the Steam keys to everyone who has purchased this game. This goes to show how the majority of people who complain about this game never actually stay updated or check what's going on before posting these unnecessary topics.

I expect only the best hackers to be able to portray a message of such value. Who will be the ones to let the citizens know the truth!

One thing that simply does worry me though is that this game will be released and be stuck in Early Release hell for the longest time like Rust, DayZ, and many other games. What I see fit, however this not being my choice, is to get the game released and continue allowing pledgers to pay for a module pass for the next month and release hotfix after hotfix patching the game as much as possible, simply so that funding will rise as well as the community can calm down a bit about the huge scam issue. Right now, if the game is in a playable state, I think it'd be time to release and just allow players to know that the game is at the least truthfully in development. Players are okay with a few bugs in games, as long as they're hastily fixed. First impressions are important yes, but you can't be focused on being a perfectionist when it comes to this game. It will have issues and continuously delaying the game in hopes to put out the perfect game on release will only cause a loss in hype and player support. I want the best for the game, I'm not downing the game, simply putting in my personal opinion on the stance of the game and community at the moment.

I truly don't understand the argument of "It's coming out -vs- It's a scam". Like if you think it's a scam then leave? You've tried your best convincing people of your opinion, but if they don't believe you... they don't believe you. The truth cannot be told, it can only be realized, and this is not me stating the game will not release, because I in fact have very high hopes that it will indeed be released sometime in March. However, I see it virtually pointless to argue over this trying to persuade the developers to what...? say it's a scam. Like I don't understand the main goal of this complaining. It's like you just want to complain. Say for instance, the developers are scamming, you think that if you continuously yell on a forum post they're gonna come out and be like, "Oh no, you got us. All that complaining, you really caught us. We're sorry, but thanks for the million." I just don't see the point. I understand the frustration point of view, it's a genre changing game that would be incredible if it releases and would be so much fun and enjoyable to play, but that's just the thing... it's not out. Until it's out, it's not out. I can't complain about being broke and expect to see a pile of cash at my doorstep the next morning. I believe we just need to realize that arguing is not accomplishing anything and truly all that we can do is wait to see the result of this game. Maybe it is a scam, and I can be proved wrong, but until it's proven-all we have is evidence that a small team of developers are taking on a project that's insanely massive and being subjected to push out content and estimates they feel unrealistic to please and non-please able community. I mean seriously, you all complained for 3 weeks that we're, "never gonna get a video-it's just going to be delayed forever", and you were proven wrong-then decided to complain about how short it was or how it wasn't set to your standards. * Drop your expectations, if it releases-it does. If you don't feel like waiting-leave. Simple as I can put it * Yours Truly, ~~ SummitsEdge // Kyvex Founder

There are many members that joined Late 2016 that are still thriving for the game. I personally have been waiting on the game since around November and have not really had much of an issue with it taking forever. We've seen what's happened when other games are rushed out, we definitely don't want that.

I agree, I have always been on the side that the game will come out, but before the recent improvements I was quickly losing interest in the fact that it would be coming out this year. I'm extremely glad that they're improved their community-relationship. I thoroughly look forward to the future this game holds!

Actually watching really movies in theaters isn't really that big of a task. I would like to inform you that they're not new movies.. they're quite old movies that don't include any copyright actions to use. From there it's just having those movies in the files and being able to call and put them onto specific platforms. I see that you're new to the forum, so I would recommend looking around and learning more about the diverse game and development skills the developers actually acquire before talking about it being impossible, because it's actually not all that difficult. It's just simple game code, yes it's a lot, but it's nothing Rockstar couldn't do. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Grand Theft Auto V actually does have the option to watch shows, movies, news, etc. So obviously you don't know much about game development haha. No salt, just honesty. Have a wonderful day, if you need anything else feel free to message me. ~ SummitsEdge // Mob Mechanix Pres & Founder

I still find it so amusing that people want to continuously rant about all the things we're not seeing. Again, as I've stated in many of the rebuttals to all the stupid "the game is a scam" comments -- this team HAS developed a released add on before. Now while you're saying, oh it's just an add on, they didn't have to make the assets or anything for the game, just easy development work. No, it proves to us that they get things done. Now any of you can say that the game is a scam, and you never know -- that might be the case, but I highly doubt it. The developers have been really trying to give us what we want without spoiling the game at the same time. We've seen screenshots of in-game models, buildings, areas, vehicles -- and while I understand they're pretty old videos -- in-game footage. Now I think we'll be fine waiting until the supposed "Mid July - Early August" to see if it actually comes out. Now again I know that I'm going to get people sitting here like, "oh they're just gonna delay it again". If you've read the Dev Blog #007, you would have read that they state, they only have to finish the coffee building and clothes store and then they're just doing finishing touches and it's done. Now with a hard working team like Asylum, I doubt that will take much time. Let's just relax and see. TL;DR - Games coming out, we have info, stop your f*cking complaining and just be patient. Sorry if I offended anyone, I kinda don't care. All the complainers are beginning to get very tedious and annoying. Have a wonderful day, ~ SummitsEdge // Mob Mechanix Pres & Founder PS. I know this comment isn't going to stop people from complaining, but it sure does ease my nerves.

Someone who likes both sexes wouldn't identify as a gender. That's something different. The only genders there are is boy and girl. You liking a specific one doesn't make you a different gender. it just means you're different. I seriously don't think it should matter who likes who (and I'm straight. No random gender liking shit, just the reg. Boy and Girl.). But the fact that there are sso many different like ways of "what you like" is stupid. It's just like the phobias out there, there are a bunch of pointless stupid ones. Kinda related to this. i'm enjoying this arguement. You're a good writer.
