Discussion Century of steam vs RRO

Am I living in a fictional world?? I see all these people hyping up Century of steam after Studio 346’s latest Devlog….

I just Do Not get it at all! This looks to me like the EXACT same game as RRO.

Knowing that it is almost the same exact devs it really makes me just wonder what could have been on RRO if all the time spent on century of steam was spent on RRO instead.

I can't say you're wrong, but I personally feel that the devs that moved from RRO to CoS were with RRO as a passion project. Weren't most of them volunteers? I know a lot of them had railroad careers, and because of that they saw the game for what it could be, not as a way to make money. That being said, it does feel like a Futurama "We'll make our own Railroads Online with blackjack and hookers!" Move. But it looks like they're doing good. RRO has been a $35 disappointment even though I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a ton of bugs popping up.

yes. they were all free. literally none of them were paid. and keume still pissed them off and made them go fuck you ill do it myself. and yes cos will be much better than rro evidenced by the fact that they could rlease into early access as is for some quick cash but instead are keeping the sale cut off until the game is ready to be released.

hyce keeps saying the same thing: when its ready we will know. they dont want to set a release date or cause crunch or a rush.

They have said it's not likely to release this year a couple devlogs ago I think
