Heroes are useless parasites, the lot of them. If you don't give them a bunch of petty make-work chores they'll sit around drinking and stealing small objects when you aren't around.
Not to mention breaking all your crates and vases.

My connection just sent me a panicked email. It seems that he/she is worried that I just outed them to Tiyuri by revealing specific info.  :-\   
I hope I didn't get them into trouble, or fall into a trap.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

I will cancel my purchase if they fire a dude for giving non-critical information.

But KoF, you didn't buy Starbound! You won it in one of Hemmingjay's giveaways!
...shush.


Besides, won't everyone on the team know that anyways? I mean, it could be a dude's wife's uncle that gave you the information.

Ah, dude's wife's uncle... Such a wild card.

Yeah, I can see firing someone for (say) releasing all of their code into the wild blue yonder, but for hinting to another person that there might be an announcement about a beta release date soon? If your buddy was actually fired for that, I'd boycott the game and the company.

Same. Information is good, not bad.

Seriously, giving someone the boot over revealing this kind of information would be in bad taste at best.  Plus, this is the kind of info that could very easily get leaked to anyone related to the project, who could go on to leak it anybody else.

It's possible that the company knows that something was leaked, but doesn't know what exactly. They could be worried that some code or even a playable version got out when really it was just possible beta dates.

Yeah, +1 to "if someone gets fired for this, boycotting the company."

Keep us posted so I know if I need to cancel my pre-order.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

How worried is worried? Are they in actual trouble? I'm concerned for their well-being.

"Time to start dredging the harbour" worried, I'm assuming. 'Tis much more dramatic that way.

To be fair, I can understand why they're extra concerned about information like this getting out too soon. I heard there have been death threats over the delay of Starbound. I'm not making that up! But I do hope we get some major information this week & I hope no one is fired.  ???

off-topic:

I think death threats should carry the same penalty as actual attempted murder. Seriously. Some kid runs their mouth on the internet? Hunt them down and throw them in jail. The end.

Its a douchy thing to do, but that seems a bit extreme.
