Kickstarter page flooded with negative comments following VR company's $2 billion sale to social networking behemoth.
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
Greatest picture ever
I can't blame the supports for being upset about a concept they supported being sold out to a social experience/advertisement company
"the deal is beneficial to virtual reality supporters because it accelerates our vision, allows us to execute on some of our most creative ideas, and take risks that were otherwise impossible"
AND TWO BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!
I probably would of done the same, so would you "2 BILLION? hand me the pen mofo"
I bet Sony are rubbing their hands
Edit: Please don't think i'm happy with this news, it's disastrous news
It's not that bad, it'll probably spawn loads of companies making vr headsets, look how many companies make mobile phones, if vr is the next big thing (I think it will be) they'll want to get in on that money
Twitter was pretty bitter last night regarding the OR sale. No, I would not say too many people are happy.
I guess upset people don't get what kickstarter is about. The funding is about getting the project off the ground, not force the company into being forever owned by funders.
EDIT: upset about kickstarter, I mean, I understand people being upset over the purchase.
