      If only there was some method to check the gameplay after release and decide if you want to purchase.

      Emotionally pre-ordering a game based on your own expectations is a meme.

      I wanted to play KSP2 and waited an actual decade for it so I could go to space with my friends. Upon release I checked gameplay and reviews and never ended up buying it. I voted with my wallet and not my complaints, it’s that simple

        If only there had been a game that you had played thousands of hours on and had high hopes for the sequel.

        Also, you waited a decade to play a game you wanted to play? That’s a you problem.

          He’s not arguing against hoping for a better sequel. He’s telling people to stop pre-ordering games without knowing how good the game is going to be.

          Read his reply again. He waited 10 years for it to release and get reviewed before making an informed purchasing decision. He made a smart move.

            Ksp released 2015 so unless they were awaiting its sequel 1 year before it released they are chatting shit. Facts mean nothing to you do they?

              Perhaps on Steam KSP1 was release in 2015… they had a standalone version of KSP1 in 2011 which is 12 years apart from KSP2 which was released in 2023. Smug fucker.

              The first public version was released digitally on Squad’s Kerbal Space Program storefront on 24 June 2011, and joined Steam’s early access program on 20 March 2013.

              Now please, continue gaslighting me about how I’m “chatting shit”. Get better at arguing

              This is the part where you apologize for being rude and wrong and we all move on with our lives having learned something new.
              No shame in that.

              Happy weekend friend!

      Expectations that people made up in their heads. If you followed any of the pre-release media, you knew exactly what you were getting, including the performance issues.
