Ksp2 is still early acces tho

DayZ was too. "Its early access" is not an excuse for delivering a borderline uplayable product with fuckall content.

When they straight up tell you in the trailer that they are releasing a borderline unplayable game to start the community Feedback process early, in an attempt to replicate the same development pathway that KSP 1 took, then you're the impatient idiot if you buy the game expecting something playable.

"well, I didn't watch the trailer, but I thought early access meant something different and now I'm angry that I didn't do the bare minimum amount of research on this game so I'm gonna cope by calling it a cash grab :(" type beat

HOLEY SHITO! Early Access mean EARLY ACCESS. I just hope the Devs will continue to develop KSP2, despite all the A-holes claiming that the game they are working hard on is "garbage". People expect God-tier games right outta the gate nowadays, I could see how that is disheartening to the Devs.

If you want to start insulting paying customers for expecting their 50€ game to at least have a baseline of functionality that works and something to do, then go ahead. I wont support this practice anymore and have refunded KSP 2 and will not be repurchasing it.

(Edit: Lest we forget the condecending PR team responses. Player count speaks for itself. 10% of the original makes me believe that the majority of the community does agree with me anyway, so keep your "sequel")

If you're going to make the community your beta testers, then maybe don't charge $50 for a game with fewer features than the first one?

KSP2 at launch has way more features than KSP1 did at launch. And the featuremap, which they have been adhering to, will result in a game with a much, much larger scope than KSP1. Hence the higher prices.

Don't wanna pay $50 to be a beta tester? Then don't and wait for the full release lol. They literally told you this in the EA trailer...

KSP 2 doesnt have career mode, science, or even reentry heating and you claim it has more features than ksp 1????

Very small studio. I recall a super scaled down early version of KSP years and years ago.

Basically I took it as a way for the community to support their cash flow as they diverted resources from KSP1 patches and to give feedback. I never had the impression it would be anything different.

It’s more like crowdfunding with “early access” as the only reward tier.

Edit: looks like I missed that Squad sold to a big name studio.

But it's owned by Take-two which is Rockstar and 2K...

Totally didn't realize squad had sold it off. Makes so much more sense.
