Isn’t that what sca- uhh, I mean super legit game devs normally do? Suddenly the scope was neeeever that big! You just think you remember all’ those claims that are still visible! No one actually said things you can prove they did!
I feel like this has happened numerous times already and somehow it surprises people every time. Like, there are channels on YouTube that only cover this sort of thing and have days of content.
According to a recent discussion in another thread, I’ve been told that expecting devs to honor their word, is “entitlement”…
No, you are saying that you are entitled to an developers code if they leave a project just because they let you test it. You are acting/being entitled as fuck.
Engywuck ( @Engywuck@lemm.ee ) True… It amazes me when people become so entitled online, especially in the FOSS community. It looks like they think devs owe them something.
jarfil ( @jarfil@beehaw.org ) They got free testing for the promise of releasing the source, then failed to fulfill that promise, so… yeah, they do owe those people something.
Yeah, that’s not how any of this works.
@Scary_le_Poo and @jarfil: if the two of you have a disagreement on another thread, please work it out between the two of you like adults there; don’t spill it over into other, unrelated threads.
@Scary_le_Poo, these types of personal attacks are not acceptable on beehaw. It is possible to disagree while still being kind and without resorting to angry or abusive language. Please try to remember beehaw’s guiding principal when interacting with others in the future.
You are saying that getting people to do work for you by promising them something in return, means nothing, that you can break that promise whenever you want.
You are entitled as fuck.
That’s what a scammer would say.
So I just ran across this, after leaving a comment in that same thread. Posting it again here to try and add some sanity back to this discussion:
Okay, but there’s a line here somewhere. Pushing for new features and complaining in the issue tracker that a bug hasn’t been fixed soon enough is absolutely entitlement. Expecting someone to follow through on their word and release the source code is another thing entirely. Especially if they make the decision to stop working on it.
Go check out this EoL statement from the developer of Nomie. He open-sourced the code without even being asked too.
Like CDPR changing Cyberpunk from RPG to Action-adventure. At least the game didn’t release at that point though, but still. I mean Destiny even gets called an MMO when it isn’t. Genre is kind of misused a lot, people just need to stop buying or getting invested in games that haven’t even released.
I saw that announcement video when it first came out and was super hyped for The Division. I didn’t end up playing it until around 2019 and I was really impressed with how close to the trailer the actual gameplay was. I know it had some controversy, but I guess I’m easy to impress lol
Here we go again to ask the old question of can you delete things from the internet
I’m really confused about this. I only ever heard about this as ane extraction shooter. But I also only found some tiktok clips didn’t follow it in advance or anything
I removed it from my wishlist when it became purchasable at open beta
