Release the Kracken

[S.C. Watson]

Seriously just push the big red release button in the office. How much different will the game be today then a week today.

Just do it. Surprise us.

It would be the Blorg thing to do.

You're the guy who puts up Christmas decorations in July, aren't you?

Do you understand that Paradox is a business, and that much as we might like to imagine our importance as consumers, their first obligation is to their investors?

Releasing a game early, filled with more bugs than was absolutely unavoidable to meet the release date, won't sell a single extra copy of Stellaris that they weren't going to sell post release anyway. Releasing it early, with extra bugs and problems, will damage their sales with every angry steam review it gets as a result.

Why do you want to hurt Paradox? Why do you want to damage Paradox's reputation? Are you from EA?

This is exactly the kind of post where I wished there was a sarcasm-font on the Internet. Now Poe's law is torturing me !

I find myself wishing they would enable play for pre orders now or at least on Friday. I find myself scrolling through Steam library looking for something to play while awaiting Stellaris and HOI4. Fired up Dominions 4 finally over the weekend...

That.
Ended up buying city skylines to pass the time.

Funny. I've been doing exactly the same thing.

Then again, DNF is pretty much Schrödinger's game: delayed and rushed at the same time.

Since I never opened the box, I guess I can consider myself to be one of the lucky ones.

Dragon Age 2 anyone?

Is there much to really debate after the first post?

yep whether its a button or lever. I still think its a button

Well, my family kept some Christmas decorations until Easter.

I'll go with the truly Dwarven way, I believe it's a lever.

 

[Mokael]

What if it is a lever with a button on top?

If they're really dwarves, then it's a lever inside the meeting hall !

Exactly!
