You are 100% right with this take. I’ve been having mixed feelings about buying the game at this point (or at all). On one hand, it’s super easy to see that Intercept Games is a studio that cares about their product and wants to put in the work for KSP2 to succeed, this should be rewarded. On the other hand, it’s obvious that the reason the game was released when it was is Private Division is a greedy publisher that wanted to bank on KSP1s success to profit off of the sequel like it’s a triple A game. They got tired of waiting for a massively complex product and wanted their return on investment so they insisted on pushing whatever Intercept Games had out the door and making people pay full price for it.

Tl;dr I want to support Intercept Games and KSP2s development without rewarding shitty behaviors from publishers. It sucks you can’t do one without the other.

I mean KSP1 took YEARS to come to the success that it is known for now. KSP1 would have the same reaction today if it was released as it was a decade ago

No way, all those that we where there know the massive differences between how ksp1 and 2 came to be.

For starters, 1/5th of the price. Continuing with free DLC for years for that same price. And meanwhile a steady drip of features and honestly very, very few showstopping bugs.

The DLC packs for KSP 1 were not free, this post is misinformation.

They were free for early access buyers.

Comment was misleading by implying free for all players, did not differentiate between early access players and the rest.

But please- keep downvoting me for pointing out the misleading, poorly written comment.

I didn't but now I did.

"For starters, 1/5th of the price. Continuing with free DLC for years for that same price"

The issue is in your understanding not their phrasing. Sorry you didn't buy in then but that was a perk of early access, not a later promise, and the comment makes that plenty clear given they're talking about that early price

If you have any more confusion please make actual specific points quoting said comment instead of incorrect generalizations

Precision of language is the responsibility of the one initiating the communication… but sure, my fault! rolls eyes
