Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 dev Tim Willits explains why the game was able to achieve massive success when so many big budget games have failed lately.
It is, it’s also in alpha still. If they were claiming beta in this state I’d be more worried rather than just mad they keep adding stupid shit instead of going full optimization. They have a game, they just need to get it out the door and worry about content in future releases. It’s like the painter who can’t call a painting finished.
Oh well if they’ve only started four times then that’s fine.
It’s only a problem if they do it 20 times right, then we worry, but 4 times, nah, that’s standard.
Okay whatever you need to say to justify it to yourself.
This game came out before I went into university I’ve now graduated and could have completed a doctorate and it still wouldn’t have been in beta yet. Is the development studio near black hole or something what’s going on here.
Oh boy. Time for an 800 comment long flamewar about Star Citizen. I’m ready.
I’m proud to be the one to start the fire this time. To be clear I do really want a good game out of all this.
Personally, I think Star Citizen is shallow and pedantic.
It’s just a scam though isn’t it? 💣💣💣
They’re doing way too much work for it to be a scam. Irresponsible, naive, badly managed, sure. It can just be a bad project.
Its an educated wish.

After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.
Yes and no. On the other side they’ve essentially rebooted development something like 3 or 4 times. So there’s a chance it comes up roses.
For other games that would be described as development hell
Yup, I acknowledge that it’s in development hell.
Oh well if they’ve only started four times then that’s fine. It’s only a problem if they do it 20 times right, then we worry, but 4 times, nah, that’s standard.
I’m not saying this is normal. Why are you so hellbent on making me look like I am?
Why you so hell-bent on defending fraud?
They can claim whatever they want. But if it’s publicly available then it’s a beta regardless of what arbitrary name they give it.
If it was alpha it should be free.
Sorry bud you’re just wrong on that one.
It’s been in development hell for over 10 years it’s not going anywhere slowly. They barely even have a product.
Okay? But it’s still definitely an alpha.

I agree as well…
Indeed.
