Why would I prefer a game I don't want and won't buy that is out over one I do want that isn't out yet? There are plenty of the first kind on steam already.jasonbarron wrote:At this point wouldn't you just be happy if it actually came out at all?

I mean, I actually still wanted to buy ED even after the online debacle, but still haven't because they also cut everything out of their design docs I actually wanted, so it keeps getting meh'd down my wishlist.
So yes, I'd prefer the E:D I wanted to come out in two years over what was actually released. Same for LT.

And if he hit his money goal, why would he need to salvage the KS?
He announced there would be offline SP during the KS campaign before they hit the funding goal. The influx of backers pushed it into "backed territory".
Later, as soon as alpha is out he sold alpha and beta packages, still under the presumption that there would be offline SP in the final release.
Then, shortly before launch he announced there wouldn't be.
People got refunded, yes, but a ton of people were refused refunds too - as soon as you touched the beta, you were denied any refunds, even if you bought it on the premise there would be offline SP later.
Given the fact that everyone who wanted a refund wouldn't have bought the game and a ton of people who wanted a refund still didn't get one, he did get a lot of money from people who wouldn't have given it to him otherwise.
