Jessie Cox has uploaded part 2 of their series, if anybody was checking TBs channel and not finding it.

They did something similar in their Terraria 1.2 LPs.

2 PM or so for me. Alas, I have two exams the next day. Life's like that.

Am I the only one who feels a little bit legitimately angry because the game hasn't been released to paying customers, and youtube people are on episode 2 of their LP?

[Sirus]

Why are you assuming that the youtube people didn't pay?

Them giving special considerations for people who basically give them free advertisement?

Seems standard... annoying but standard.

Does it matter?

Eh, press releases are somewhat common. You get used to the idea that youtube video makers are pretty much royalty.

I'm wondering if we yet know if there are any differences between the races beyond appearance...

Sort of but not really

They get their own exclusive equipment and missions but they are otherwise exactly the same.

Heck I wouldn't be surprised if those "exclusive equipment" weren't race locked... So everyone could use it anyway.

I think I might have been, a little, back when that sort of thing started happening... a few years back? Several? I guess it technically strings back all the way to the first gaming magazines and whatnot a couple decades back (at the least). The sting has dulled, and is now filed under "standard marketing junk I probably can't do anything meaningful about".

[Neonivek]

As well... they couldn't give everyone copies.

They need steam to do it.

You mean releasing it for people to show what's in the content to ensure if they like what they're buying or not...or some market trend that dates a long way back that I only have vague memories about it?

So wait, do we know whether or not it's coming out withing the next several hours? There's no Steam ticker it seems. Just checking whether I should go to sleep or not.

10AM PST? Ok, 17 hours 15 minutes. I thought it was PM for some reason.

Yep, checking back through thread and site confirms this.

[Girlinhat]

I can sorta understand sneak peeks to certain media outlets in advance.  But this is DAYS before regular customers.  They've pushed around the beta to be released.  If the beta is ready enough for youtubers to use it and make movies, then isn't it ready for regular customers?  If this were like, a tech demo given to certain streamers that might make sense, but I REALLY doubt they're going to do any changed in the past 48 hours that will make it to the beta release (considering that Steam is sorta a stickler about not allowing spam updates for most games).

I was actually thinking about this just earlier, while I see the value in LP advertisements I think it shouldn't have happened in a game where people are buying into early access. But ah well.
