Alpha Release date speculation thread

[Memnoch]

Yeah, they can probably still taste the toothpaste. Let them get to work, grab a coffee and have a quick chinwag about last night's telly first. Then comes the Alpha release! :smilie:

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Spoiled for choice at present though - ED coming, Starbound, Trove, and now Shroud of the Avatar. Couldn't they all have spread themselves out a little bit?! I bet EQ-Landmark goes and releases alpha tomorrow too now...

It called "dumping big pile of bugs on testers before Christmas time" in my part of the world

 

[Evilroco]

Not that Evil

I didnt want to "throw fuel on the fire " as it were but as that report is on multiple stock/financial sites I thought I'd better post

 

[Adam Lusardi]

A few Devs are one line......Posed to hit the button

For those who have missed it so far, there's a new "Peek of the Week" in the PBF.

That peek was sheer pronography. If I could fly that later today and blast some space debris I would be a very happy guy

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Also here's original official FD statement for investors

I'll be checking more thoroughly today than my usual morning/afternoon/evening checkin.

I would imagine that any official release will come via a Kickstarter update due to the Alpha access being one of the Kickstarter rewards.

PBF? Link?

PBF? Link?

Someone's posted it on /r/EliteDangerous. Not fashionable idea by itself, but I think we can make exception this time

Shareholders first (it's still everything about money (and PR)), Kickstarters second

Sadly that's the truth .. It was about a man and his dream until he floated .. Now by law it's money.

Sorry just to clarify, I'm meaning an actual link for a download rather than just confirmation.

No, by law he must provide information which can impact investors decisions, even if they don't hold majority of ownership in company. Markets open in the morning, so they have to release information before that to give everyone fair chance (to sell/buy their shares).

Remember, some of those people contributed to the development of the game too, so it is entirely fair to them
