Skepticism is one thing...random comments about how it is impossible/wont work/gonna simply die is another...unless I am getting the two confused.
I guess I am just annoyed that EVERY game thread seems to devolve into some negativity black hole. Seems like alot of people are jaded or were wronged in the past and have to take it out on every game they come across. And thats not even getting into the bit where even if they delivered everything people are still gonna complain...half the time by people that don't even own the game lol
I stopped getting hyped about games years ago when I understood that hype is just a garbage marketing tactic...my life is so much better for it...it also has a nifty effect where when things don't work out its not the end of the world.
It doesn't help I guess that well... their negativity so far has been completely justified with how things turn out with projects like this. There are just droves upon droves of empty and lost promises, games that had to be compromised to boredom, and flat out developers who just can't deliver.
As for "don't even own the game" hmm... People looking at the list of promised features, noticing they don't have them, then not buying the game? That is crazy talk! don't you know you buy the game THEN get disappointed. Not get disappointed a game you wanted to buy isn't a game you want to buy
(sarcasm should be thick enough here)
But I'll put it this way
Academimagia? Unfinished
Cult (renamed but forgot name)? Cancelled
Starbound? Shell of its former self
DayZ? Snail pace development that will never finish
Minecraft? Snail pace development that will never finish
Terraria? Released incomplete shell, then developed years later to be an acceptable game
Overgrowth? >_< honestly I completely forgot this thing existed, last I remember it was still very much barely a game. For all I know it is finished and a hidden gem on the internet.
To name a few... and before you go "But I like that" not the point. You don't go "But it was fun anyway so I put my interest into games because they will be fun anyway", you go "Well this game looks fun, lets hope it will be fun".
