        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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

            It’s been in development hell for over 10 years it’s not going anywhere slowly. They barely even have a product.

                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.
