Pre-orders have that special quality in them that allow players to buy the game based on their imagination and expectations rather on actual quality. not saying starbound wont deliver, just saying that its not necessarily taking away potential money from them. also need considering is that their pre-orders sit at an average of 22$ a copy.

If they keep showing life signs and making community updates, prolonging the release can very well do them more good than harm. up to a certain point of course (a point they are very near to).

You evidently DON'T know my plans.

They don't involve planetary destruction.

They involve peace and love, right?

[Chattox]

No. It involves finding as large a group/guild/corporation (if they appear) as I can, getting to the top of it, and trying to crush it.

If they appear? They already exist; there's an entire subforum for them in the Starbound forums

If the IRC channels I frequent are any indication, people have hyped Starbound to the point where it cannot deliver on their expectations. I suspect that it will turn out to be at a least a decent game, but the community will erupt into a firestorm upon its release.

It'll be hilarious, I can't wait.

I just tell myself it's going to be Terraria in Space. That calms my hype down, while still assuring that I'm interested and excited for it. Anything that reaches beyond the scope of Terraria in Space will be a pleasant surprise.

And honestly if folks haven't learned to chill their hype train in recent years it deserves to get burned. I just hope no innocent bystanders get caught in the fire too.

i think they have a good game they just need to get the beta out and stop delaying from there they can relax and get on with the business of fine tuning it for final realise

You see this kind of nonsense with every single game release out there. People get hyped, realize that the game isn't being released RIGHT NOW, and either lose hype or get angry. Later when the game releases, depending on who you ask it's either the game of the year every year or it's literally Hitler. After a while people calm down and realize it's just good/average/bad.

You left out the part where some people gripe and speak badly of the hype

To my understanding there hasn't been a DDoS yet, so at least the community isn't minecraft level of dumb.

It is human nature afterall.

Being hyped takes a lot of energy, it is relying on taking up your headspace.

Never understood this.

'IN ORDER TO GET THE GAME RELEASED WE'LL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE THE GAME!'

That is because you are looking at things wrong.

You know how for the longest time people through Prisoners would attack certain types of inmates out of "moral outrage" of their crimes?

Well as we found out much later, they just wanted to beat someone up and chose their most justified target.

People who do DDoS are just jerks who want to do it to someone, and just chose who they feel is the target they are most justified in doing so.

[ollobrains]

then again a ddos or a hack saying we are putting beta out might get them to pull their finger out and get on with it instead of ongoing feature creep justifying continous delays in beta
