not exactly the same thing but i found this yesterday, just tried it out and it works fine ~ https://www.nexusmods.com/7daystodie/mods/5520 (Skip News Screen - V1.0 b333)
Maybe they'll do that in future; for now, i just don't want to see such screens; i always know such things before firing up the game as i'm always scouring the internet for info or would see an update in Steam or wherever; anyways so to me it achieves nothing; but maybe some people like those screens (i hate such things on PS4 for example); at least it can be done via a mod for now
The bug is the "1.0", when it's just A22 ...It's 1.0 and out of pre-release.
Either way, they want it there because it's still in *active* development. Sure, the wording isn't very accurate and they could change it to saying something like it being still in development instead of being pre-release, but does that really matter other than for semantics? It's just words and you don't even need to read them.Yes, they're still developing it, but it's NOT pre-release anymore. It's 1.0 and out of pre-release. I'm not going to mod it out but it's inarguably wrong to state it's still pre-released software.
If "They're still developing on it" is an argument for pre-release than most software is pre-release forever.
