It isn’t “accepted now” as much as we used to trust devs to make games. Now we don’t and it kills great concepts.

Then fuck that. I’m not paying 200+ for this game then.

Then pay twice as much as you should.

Like on my hard drive where I love it?

If NMS hadn’t engaged in community-desired communication this wouldn’t even be an issue.

but people who spent $60 on the game deserve some clarity

I honestly can’t even begin to imagine how people work for years on projects they know will get DMCA takedowns immediately.

Yeah, I do think that’s batshit crazy.

I call it “enjoying the game I have” and not killing the joy because I felt slighted.

Well, who decided to buy a clearly unfinished game?

Good points made, but people will post stupid stuff anyway. People will want answers even if untrue.

It is unreasonable because it is subjective and completely about if you buy it or not.

I don’t think you have anything to complain about, honestly.

Buy the bundled GOTY edition for 60 when it releases. End of story.

I’m arguing that we, and players, have no control over what a game is and is not. That’s it.

Why did you buy a game in dev in the first place?

I’m arguing that we should enjoy games for what they are instead of pining over what they AREN’T.

If they gave a “straight answer” you wouldn’t even understand and then you’d find yet another way to fuck them over.

They can always not buy the game. That’s an option.

Sure, so NMS is the latest in a line of games that promised big and then didn’t follow through.
