    What in the distinction between "holds developer's life in their hands as they have the funding" and "payed by developers to perform a service" is so hard to understand?

    Seriously. I cannot for the life of me fathom why demonizing publishers with full creative control and using them for simple distribution is wrong?

    The entire point of demonizing them in the first place was that they should only be distributors and marketers! How can using them for exactly that purpose be hypocritical?

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Because he didn't mention it during the campaign precisely because he knew some people would be turned off by it.

    Random interview on german eurogamer. I'm sure a lot of people saw that. How about clarifying something important like that in the actual kickstarter page during the campaign (at the risk of people going full knee jerk at the mention of publishers)?

    I quoted my own post as well deliberately. I do believe it's his own fault that people rage about this, I just don't believe there's anything to rage about.

    Since this mention of customizable interface during and soon after the kickstarter, I've mostly been expecting a "floaty, scrolly piece of shit". :roll:

    Personally, I'd like my interface "language" to be something with a bit more Max Headroom:

    By the way, what does that button next to end turn do? Seems very situational to have a button to drop rocks on the heads of people who happen to be under a ledge.

    :lol: Would be funny if it was true. How you go from an obvious arrow pointing down to that would be interesting to know.

    "Crush with boulder" is the most important new skill in the game. For too long people went without the immersive experience of crushing people with boulders. Now, finally, we've done it: button, boulder crushing, connected now, in Wasteland 2.

    (it's the "ambush" button)

    Seriously fuck the fact that they chose deep silver as a partner. Who better than those that killed what was left of piranha bytes. I'm still so butthurt about the abomination (including day 1dlc areas) that was risen 2.. that knowing I helped fund something that brings koch media any more money, will have me wait with supporting their next kickstarter until it is finished and in stores.

    Thought it was the button to fly around with a giant potato.

    I hope the Agricultural Center (inside the facility when the gameplay video ended) is really atmospheric and creepy. I was emulating a consoletard game the other week and it sprang to mind as good influence for Ag Centre:
