We gotta remember, this is Snail Games. I know I say how bad they are in the NA/EU but unfortunately its just their history. I'm sure they are great in the east, but in the western market, they are just known for cash grab projects.
I enjoy the articles and news on this site. The toxic and negative posts that many of the "community" consistently spew not so much.
I'll remain firmly in the wait-and-see camp on this one...
Maybe it was a planed update that dint hit the deadline for the EA steam release?
You can buy a turd for 20 dollars and it will still be a turd. Buy any early access game for 20 dollars and it will still be early access. You're at fault for buying an unfinished game. How I look at these prices is the loose investment because the early access price is significantly lower than the finished title.
In a way, you are buying into the promise and expectation you have for it and not for what it is now. Nobody is forcing you to purchase an unfinished game and complain that it is unfinished. It's in the disclaimer.
That's one way to look at it.
If something is crappy people will say it's crappy. Is that inappropriate?
If the developer improves it, in most cases people DO say "Wow, that used to be crappy and they fixed it, good for them". Typically people speak on things they have/had interest in.
Why do folks have to create these imaginary corporate/political thrillers out of a game being shitty & unfinished. What AGENDA? Yes, when you sell a product you're open to the critical opinions of people who buy/or would buy.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dude you have a big warning on the steam page saying the game is in Early access wich means that isn't finished and will have lots of bugs "even more the first days".
But then i go to forums, reddits or other media crying because the devs "released" something unfinished.
In short it is your fault, learn to read, don't buy EA if you expect a "released" game.
Hey, it is perfectly okay for other mmos or kickstarters to do paid alphas/betas but Early access in steam is just wrong... double standars everywhere.
Oh wait and if the game that does it, is the one where my hype is, then they are our lords and saviours for such great approach to game developing.
maybe they should do warning for exemple : beta ( close from releases ) , apha ( bugged a bit )
early alpha ( full bugs but main features kinda there ) and concept early alpha ( this game )
stop blame consumer !! they dont offert any trial, their screenshot dont even look the same ingame ! they show amazing pre renderer video who dont look the same.... and you, you blame consumer who buy the game ?
they should have know ? well how we should have know exactly ?? smart ass ? it a buggy mess, stream should have some standar for dont accept these bullshit game almost not playable...even... if yes, they are in early acess !!!
There will be bugs. It will be unfinished. It will crash, change, wipe, evolve in both good and bad ways and it will be one hell of a ride for all those willing to look at it from a none negative approach. We already have an active pve server up and more players join by the day who love this game.
You dont love it, we get it, now get over it and find something you do enjoy instead of spreading toxicity.
Are you saying that a developer should FINISH a game prior to release? Good Lord man, this isn't the dark ages!!!
/Sarcasm
I agree with you completely on this one.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
I don't think I've ever played a game that was ready for release. They get released, they get fixed, been that way for a long time now. Most games take about a year or two before they play like they should have on release day.

Yea I'm liking the game also. I expect it to be a buggy release alpha, it's more stable then some other games I've played that had a final release. I'm in no hurry with one. And with a refund policy there should be no complaints.

Same here,
I bought it day 1 knowing exactly what I was buying too. Really good game that is only going to be better. People complain when they do exactly what they should be doing and that's patching the game and making it better. /SMH
