I didn't really follow Starbound or its development. Why are people going this crazy over it? What's it got that's so new and so forth?
Borderlands like random weapons. Random critters. More freedom than terraria. a few races, lots of character customization. Basically, it's built quite a bit on the Terraria formula and is more internally consistant.

Expect the Steam servers to straight up crash when the beta floodgates are raised. :D

Don't do this, it's obnoxious... although so is everything else I've seen on it.

Are there not safeguards for of regulating/redirecting traffic? Is this the 90s?

This is glorious. They literally said that.

Also steam servers are too powerful to go down. Look at the steam user graph, it's hardly inflated over normal.

... yeah, even if basically everyone with beta access hops on (and they won't. 50-75% at most), that's still only like a third of how many people are playing DotA2 alone, right now. Steam will probably be fine.

Iirc, anyway. S'like a bit over 100k, right?

That won't happen. DotA 2 updates for example are much more taxing than this

How much money did they say they made in the last couple of hours?
I couldn't understand the amount but it seemed to be a decent amount.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

So I get home and find out that the internet across the entire county is down for 48 to 72 hours.
