i still havent seen any good argumenst other than ‘‘more sales’’ which again, doesnt mean money, maybe it does at first but for each person that buys it there is 1 less potential person to buy it, if it was that easy then every game would be 5 dollars but never the less
as i said before i bought the game back for 95 dollars when it was in early pre-alpha, do you think it was a good game? no, bloody hell, in technical terms it was horrible, so why would i pay 95 dollars? because of the developers, they were open and seemed like they truly cared. and i havent regretted it, earlier up i also wrote that with this game, in the current state i wouldnt recommend to people because it is stil very basic, so why in the world, when you yourselfs says that the game have little content, would you try to bring in more people, that is the logic which bothers me.
But back on topic, even when not playing the game much i still dont feel like i have wasted the money because i have gotten the chance to be part of a community, i have gotten the chance to see a game grow from the very bottom, and been allowed to talk with the developers on how making a game works. I completely agree that the game in current form for pleasure right now (for example if you just want something to game for the weekend) which is why if you buy the game with that thought in mind you will be disappointed, it is fair to be disappointed, now you can even get refunds, i just dont think its fair to use it as an argument to say ‘‘im disappointed so its a bad game no matter what’’
Never the less, your friends and family are right, but if they want to buy the game they will, if they dont want to then they wont, its a simple as that
