Let's be real here and call this what it really is: a label to justify no updates coming in the next month cause the devs are off for the holidays. Honestly I feel the performance of the first exp build was more stable than the current mess. Literally no changes from an experimental build yet they all of a sudden decide it's good enough to call stable?? Hell why not just call it gold???!
PC Definitely unstable stable.

I think they wanted to get it as "stable" as they could before christmas, likely with the belief that a lot of people wanted to play for christmas break without having to do the whole experimental thing. For better or worse, that's what we have. I seriously doubt any bad intentions were behind the stable release...
I'm not buying that. As far as I see it they are just trying to decieve people into thinking the game isn't experimental anymore which it clearly still is. But hey Bethesda and Blizzard already ♥♥♥♥ on all their fans so why would anyone be surprised for TFP to disrespect us in this fashion. Guess they are just trying to fit in with the big boys lol

But the bears are so cute and cuddly!
If they were trying to deceive people they would stop calling it alpha 17, and start charging $60 for it. At least, that's what I've seen dishonest, early access game developers in the past do.
On the contrary.... in the past, the more honest developers have tried pushing out major patches in time for christmas to accomadate college breaks. I've even seen when those patches were completely broken and some developers worked through breaks to get the fixed for players.
At any rate, TFP trying to accommodate players seems more plausible to me than trying to deceive them, but our experiences must differ, so too must our perceptions.

Always with the invitations to stop playing. There ought to be a forum law... Well I'm no child, and I also noted the stretch. "'stable', huh? Did I just go through a time warp?"
You're right, Deme, and I think SoulCast probably has the reason. Stable was rushed. There were reasons. That, in the real world, is that. They're probably not trying to fool us as much as trying to button up for the holidays without regard for the sanctity of definitions. It is a bit insulting. As you grow older and more jaded, bullsh** like this will bother you less.

I think they did the right thing. They are going to be resting for holidays, as they should. So, I prefer to know I can put a little effort into a game BC of no imminent new releases.
Sure, the game isn't really stable now, but what is your alternative? And making them work during the holidays is not a valid response. So, take it like yourself said, an unstable stable, just to let us know we can play a bit longer without new releases.
If you want more stable, you need to play 16.4 . But holidays are for everybody
