« on: April 26, 2013, 09:30:26 pm »I will not. Dwarf Fortress is, for all intents and purposes, an "alpha" product. Sure, you can download it and play it, but it is not even remotely finished, has a halfhearted roadmap and scatterbrained development. The "wheels" on DF all point in different directions. As for updates, Stardew Valley also has its own website dedicated to bringing you updates, and the info will get there when it gets there. DF and Stardew Valley look, at least to this outside perspective, to have parallel development schemes. Just be patient, and it will get here.Seriously, man. Look at DF, and that statement becomes ridiculous.
Dwarf Fortress is for all intents and purposes 'released'. It had a download page... It has several pages and a blog dedicated to giving you exact information regarding what is in the next update and roughly how complete it is.
Maybe you should rethink your argument there.
Dwarf Fortress has more 'game' in it than several hundred of the latest AAA titles all put together.
How many releases have you seen? Read here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/older_versions.html
There are releases going back all the way to 2006. If you download and played the 2006 version I think you'll agree that was an alpha. At this stage Dwarf Fortress is now it can hardly be called an alpha anymore. It is a game that gets fairly regular and major free updates (which many other companies would charge you for).
Now if you still insist on comparing an unfinished concept of a game with no release date that even at release will have a tiny insignificantly small amount of features in comparison to something which has been released, supported and refined for 7 entire years then I have nothing further to say to you because frankly that comparison is stark raving mad.

In my experience with indie games a game without a release date is like a car with no wheels...
It might look solid at first glance but it's probably not going to get where it's supposed to be going.
I am disappointed that there's still no concrete plan for a release yet.

Is there any lasting appeal? $10 seems like a lot for a gimmick... Even a good gimmick...

Of course... The more lens flare the better. If the consumer can't view the material without squinting it must be good!

Other Games / Re: EA Voted Worst Company in America. Again.
« on: April 12, 2013, 09:26:54 am »I've talked to an EA coder while playing a non- EA game who said the higher ups blatantly ignore easy solutions submitted by employees to fix problems with hackers (in the form of video game cheating) in their games because it's 'not important.'
Sounds legitimate... I'm serious too... I believe it...
EA just suck at listening... And don't get me started on their ability to tell the truth:
EA: "Yes SimCity can't be offline, what with all the technical server-side stuff... Seriously... You don't want us to get into it... It'd fly straight over your head...
Customer: "Uh EA... I had a look at the files and yeah this could totally run offline..."
EA: "Umm... Erm... Yes... HEY LOOK DLC!"
The icing on the cake was the post by the COO...
EA: "Many continue to claim the Always-On function in SimCity is a DRM scheme. It’s not. People still want to argue about it. We can’t be any clearer – it’s not. Period."
Customer: "Umm, then why did you feel the need to lie about it in the first place?"
EA: "Well... You see... Stuff... And... That... And... BUY OUR SHINY FREEMIUM CRAP!"
Customer: "Do you even care at all about even PRETENDING you know what you're doing anymore?"
EA: "What are we even doing? I know we're making money off something..."
EA... The company that should have made straws... Because if there's one thing they know how to do it's suck.

Here's to hoping they go bankrupt... I'd drink to that.
