Wasn’t asking you, for someone who disagrees with anything I say, you seem quite compelled to respond to every point.
Yes, mostly because I do not like to let BS just go unchecked
Well, you don’t seem to answer or oblige anyone, especially not the original post, which states all the information in the first place…
You have just been going on for nothing to get your point across… For nothing since your answers have been staring at you since the first post.
Ah yes, I forgot you were the authority on everything. You don’t let me get away with BS, I call the developer out on BS. But who judges what you’re saying?
Everyone reading it, just like you get judged.
As I said before, I do not need to be an authority on everything to see that most of what you say is just your bias talking, all I need is to not have the same blinders on as you.
I think we all should smoke something good, or have a few beers, and chillax before we end up at each others throats.
Peace!
Too late in Mamba’s case, he’s been up my #!@ since my first post, I cannot get away with posting any dissenting opinion without him critiquing my posts like he’s paid to do it.
You are not unbiased, everyone wears their own set of blinders in life, mine are quite comfortable, and stylish to boot.
What should creators do if they’re having problems completing their project?
If problems come up, creators are expected to post a project update explaining the situation. Sharing the story, speed bumps and all, is crucial. Most backers support projects because they want to see something happen and they’d like to be a part of it. Creators who are honest and transparent will usually find backers to be understanding.
It’s not uncommon for things to take longer than expected. Sometimes the execution of the project proves more difficult than the creator had anticipated. If a creator is making a good faith effort to complete their project and is transparent about it, backers should do their best to be patient and understanding while demanding continued accountability from the creator.
If the problems are severe enough that the creator can’t fulfill their project, creators need to find a resolution. Steps should include offering refunds, detailing exactly how funds were used, and other actions to satisfy backers. For more information, see Section 4 of our Terms of Use.

So according to this fact from Kickstarter I don’t think the developers are peddling the fecal matter of a male bovine.
I mean sure things happen and that’s yet another fact from life in that not everything goes to plan. Everything the devs have responded to for this topic is in the best interest for those who want the DRM free game when it comes to having a polished end result - rather then something potentially broken and then having to wait even longer for the devs to not only fix things but also redistribute the fixes (which Steam is simply better at).
Actually, I hate Ubi and Activision and the like and rarely buy AAA titles since they’re usually utter dross. I received a message from medierra that clarified things further, and I feel much more confident in the game now. Communication is key sometimes, say Crate had come out two weeks ago with the news of the delay, it wouldn’t have been nearly as jarring. That he was willing to respond personally says a lot and I greatly appreciate it.
Yes that you disregarded all community guidance and existing statements from Crate (about a relatively minor issue) until being personally addressed does say a lot.
I’m glad that worked out for you!
Correction: Crate choose to make early acess exclusive to Steam.
Ok, it’s either that or no early access, because AFAIK, there is no other online distribution platform which allows Crate to easily issue patches and etc, and as an early access game.
And before anyone say, “We patch games all the time before there were Steam”, patchers are not easiest things to write. It’s not rocket science, however it’s effort which can be spent on developing the game.
Edit: If GOG or some other non-DRM distribution platform has an early-access option, I’m sure there will be uptake on those too. ETA: Oh, GoG just launched one recently. That’s good news.
Yeah, your word means almost as much to me as a stranger on the street, a crate employee has much, much more credence on this matter.
If a stranger on the street points to the moon and says “that’s the moon”…then…shrug
Doesn’t make them incorrect…
That is a good indicator of the caliber of the people that have spent numerous years of their lives completely dedicated to creating the game that you are on the cusp of playing.
May I also say that the game you are on the cusp of playing shares a very similar caliber.
I hope you enjoy your time in Cairn.

I think the OP received the answer he wanted. This thread is concluded.
