I've heard it. They're scum.

Yup. I'll even skip the opportunity to post an "Actually it's about..." meme due to the heated topic. But please do not mention GG people. It's just bad taste.

There have aswell a concept for their mothership. Actually they try to stay extremly close to real life physics.

But i think further discussion should go into an own thread for Space Engine.

*drool*

That man needs to do a kickstarter.

I'm a convinced atheist and I've had to reach the conclusion that ChristCenteredGamer is by far one of the most objective review sites out there, so... :S

And one of those.

Oh dear.

Haha do you think someone recommended sending out bad news to die on a friday, unaware of the way the games news cycle works?

The whole thing was PR Amateur Hour so I guess so.

Angry Internet posters are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever.

I was kinda like that on Friday. Mainly just chipping in every now and then like I am now. But I was just interested in how it was going.

5am roughly was the time I went to bed...on Saturday morning.

"Bargained with"

What to accept that its ok that people who paid hundreds for the game will not be able to play it.

It's not a game.

It's a space sim that works offline.

Didn't you promise to leave this thread a while back?

Have you played the game?

No, we have not played the game yet. Only a portion of it, for testing purposes.

You contacted FD first though right? Because that's the first thing PayPal will do.

Yes! I worte them an email first.

But I demanded the refund right afterwards - as the product will not ship as stated (when I bought it).

Best regards

phila

P.S.: A pitty but after having not played since the late 80s I immediately have fallen in love with this titel again - but without offline mode ist useless to me.

The majority of players\customers\backers are unaffected by the news.

but they do not abide by uk laws when selling, they have to abide to the customer's country, wich in my case is italy.
and here rules are pretty clear

Don't worry, SJT was agreeing with you.

You and me both - 5am seemed to be the magic time on Friday to give up

Just to echo this, I've "played" SE quite a bit across its various incarnations, and while development is glacial (one man team!) it is an absolutely incredible achievement. The planetary details are incredible, and it's truly a whole universe simulator. If there's any game dev I wish I could give a million dollars to, it's that guy. I urge everyone to download it and try it out, it's like 100 megs. Something to do on launch day if launch day is anything like any other where the internet is concerned.

Yeah, that user is being a tad melodramatic. Im certain one of his fellows even called anyone using their right to complain as melodramatic.

The "journalists" that promote games according to nepotism and personal relationships instead of objective reasons?

Yes, they are.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the people who are trying to build that argument on the accusatory "she sleeps around" rantings of a guy who was dumped by his ex. Which is such a compelling basis for a reasoned debate.

Not completely useless since you could have been playing it in between instead of posting on these forums.
