After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yup, I acknowledge that it's in development hell.

Hell is a crucible that produces gods and ash.

[-] Moc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Do the developers want to create a god, or are they happy to take the money and let it crumble to ash?

There is "this game needs some more baking in the oven" and then there is "let's stick it in the oven and forget about it, hopefully it'll get incinerated and we can take everyone's money".

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.
