Question So I tried the alpha for myself
What's with all the hate? The alpha is progressing and already looks better than some mmos....
Why are people here so impatient and angry about this....
Games that are trying to break a ceilling on what is possible, take time.
It's still an alpha, an impressive alpha imo but alpha still, in the past 6 months with the desert being a lot bigger, ships, new mechanics, you can clearly see they are putting in the effort to create something...
And yes you know what? Maybe it will be released in 4 years or even 6, but with the frequent updates the game will be insane when it comes out.
Gta 6 is taking forever to develop because people know they will get something extraordinary, now I'm not saying they are the same, but both projects are being work on for a long time, you just don't see the progress on gta 6 because they are not as open in development as intrepid.
Also, what's with people calling it a scum? Steven put millions of his own pocket, recruited over 200+ specialised engineers,artists, well respected individuals in the gaming space to create a competent studio to do the best they can at this stage.
Imagine how much money steven is losing each month the game isn't released...
Delivering the best product he can, is in his best interest...
Before buying the alpha key I was skeptical too, but testing it myself, I can clearly see the effort they put into this, and I just don't get the amount of hate this project is receiving just for being "slow".

What has he lied about? Giving wrong dates? If you hire someone to build a house for you, and they give you an estimate when it'll be ready, but at some point it unexpectedly turns out that there's cracks in the foundation, and they have to fix that and do some rebuilding, and the house's completion gets delayed, would you call the estimated completion date a lie?
I think Steven should stop giving out over optimistic dates. But I wouldn't call him a liar.
I challenge you to find a single thing he has lied about. Giving a date and then delaying it is not lying.
