TFP isn't paying the streamers with anything other than 3 days early access so as far as I'm concerned the streamers aren't under any sort of contract or expectation to act a certain way. You want free PR well sometimes it's gonna be bad.
Whether or not it fails is pretty irrelevant. It's gonna soak up at least the first 3 weeks of November. 2 weeks of beta and release on the 15th, a week of hype and then the dust will settle and make room for others in the genre as people quit or stop playing and start looking for something...
It's really smart to push back out of October. I know the devs "don't care" about the competition but releasing on top of Fallout 76 is a death wish for A17 exposure. Both games are competing in a similar niche but Fallout 76 has AAA backing with supreme marketing and some generally serious...

To me it sounds like very common hacker behavior. They come in and fabricate (hack and/or dupe) stacks of really expensive items to sell to traders to get infinite Dukes in order to buy other things they want or need.

I don't think strict is what people are looking for. I think something like a "COMBINED DEV TRACKER" type thread where only the devs are allowed to make posts (or where all dev posts are collected) is what people are looking for. Is there some type of forum functionality that automatically...
I don't think a video is going to be able to show performance gains, it's all relative to your own system. I doubt they're gonna load up 16.4 and 17e and do a side-by-side analysis of performance in identical situations. Too much work for little to no payoff. I'd rather the devs just develop and...
no, they are going to do the stream event on friday and release experimental on the following monday, which means the very very earliest we'll have experimental is october 1st

that actually looks completely consistent to me
When you pledge money to Kickstarter projects you are not even purchasing a product, you are pledging money to an idea. Go read the Kickstarter policies. Kickstarters fail and fizzle out all the time. Sometimes (not always) you are entitled to a refund if a project fails to deliver. TFP, on the...
