| Chazore said: Man, we cannot catch a god damn break on PC, without something fucking up... I was excited for the release of Farworld Pioneers, an indie game that was made by some vets that made Starbound, a game that was meant to be BETTER than Starbound in terms of colony simming. So what do they do when they launch in 1.0?, release a game that still required a very important patch, a patch that was meant to resolve the utterly garbage pathing and issues with the colony NPC's, you and the NPC's falling through the map, among other bugs, and this patch was apparently withheld just before 1.0, and they still haven't released that patch and it has now been 24hrs since launch and no word, no nothing from the devs on that patch. All we've heard, is this one fangirl going above and beyond to apologise for the devs withholding said patch, but that it will arrive "soon™", and they are also trying to diffuse customer's anger levels at this launch state, which really makes me think they are just an employee or some shit trying to use an alternate account tot ry to diffuse the situation (It's happened before in the past multiple times on Steam, I'm not going to forget that devs can do that). I'm just disappointed that the devs gave no real good reason as to why they couldn't just launch this game in EA. They stated that they "didn't feel like it was their thing", yet the game has some devs who worked on Starbound, a game that LAUNCHED IN EARLY ACCESS, back in 2013... Like I dunno man, I'm just tired of devs knowing something bad exists within their game, but they withhold the shit that was really needed to make their main talked about point, work right off the bat (in this case it's the colony NPC's they keep boasting about). Now I'm not sure if it's TinyBuild being colossal dicks and forcing the devs to just release in 1.0, but if it's not, holy shit can I see that game getting abandoned in short time (because Starbound was abandoned 2 yrs after release). I just want games to fucking work man, and be happy to play them, not "oh shit, another off my wishlist, better go back to my games that I usually play for years that work, and not play anything new for another 6 months". I'm tired man.

This already started about 15 years ago - just not as egregious as nowadays. This is why I became a retrogamer with some Indies and A/AA games (like Hearts of Iron, Age of Wonders, Civ, Stellaris...) sprinkled in between, and those games I generally only get years after release.
It also comes with the benefit that my hardware lasts much longer. I'm still on a 1050Ti mobile (new laptop coming this month, see a few pages back in this thread) and really don't need that much powerful and power-hungry hardware. The 7600S or 4060 mobile (still undecided which one I'll choose) will probably last me for at least half a dozen years before they start becoming a limiting factor for me.
