There was nothing high qaulity about the latest HBS game either, other than the opening music. Fuckers are getting settled in to their standard quality of offerings.

The only Kickstarter game company that has managed to consistently make high quality games, while fully respecting all their budgets, and ALWAYS ON TIME.

These guys are smart and know how to budget and plan everything out realistically. They're the Spiderweb Software of Kickstarter, except with more variety.

With the sole exception of writing in Dragonfall, there is nothing high quality about anything HBS has done. Every game they've created has been made with minimal effort required to check the minimal amount of boxes expected by the players.

That's how they are always on time - they just set the bar at a "good for what it is" level and that's the extent of their ambition.

And I don't even mind that approach. Games get made without massive delays, they are reasonably polished on launch and playing them won't give you a brain tumor unlike certain Numenera. You can have a bit of fun and scratch that turn based itch.

But why would you fucking buy a company that is a definition of mediocrity, that just eludes me.

Isnt Battletech succesful? Paradox might figure that after 4 tb games, the 4th being succesful, HBS is finally finding its groove. Which is especially attractive considering HBS is so budget-minded.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't HBS also have license for Crimson Skies until 2020?
Small change that they do anything with that, I think.

It might be distributed via the BackerKit site, no? Codex backers have an account there.

In the announcement it mentioned kickstarters would get a free copy of stellaris, does this include those that backed later through backerkit? And if so, for those like myself who have already paid for a copy of the game (and it's a great game btw, thanks) would it be possible to have a choice of DLC instead?

Stellaris cannot be changed for something else I'm afraid. Anyone that backed it, including late backers, are eligible for this.

Trannies are just ladies with a tighter cunt. Those have never been dicks.

Can't believe I have to teach you this, son. You have much to learn.
