PC Is this game abandoned?

[Riamus]

I just don't understand why people cry about games being in Alpha.  As long as significant progress is happening, so what?

The money I spent on 7DTD has had by far and away the best return on investment (in terms of hours played vs money spent) of any game I've ever spent money on.

Edit: Since June 7 2014, 1371 hours on $24.99: 1.8 cents per hour.  I wonder what other people's figures are?

Well, I don't have my computer in front of me to check, but I'm somewhere around 1200 hours and paid about $7 on sale, so that is a really good value.  But even full price, if you can get even 300 hours (and I think the majority of players, not including those who bought but never played the game, have at least that much), you are getting more for your money than most AAA games that cost $60-70 and give you under 100 hours.

Out of 30 garbage replies, thanks for the real info, appreciate it.

Because garbage in gets garbage out.  Your 1st post. "Is it someone's garage project"   Come on, really? You know it's not. So many other ways to phrase your question that is not sarcastic.

I didn't know it's not, that's why I posted on the devs forum. Also never said the game is bad, just asking why it's still in alpha. Thanks to the one guy who broke through you sweatballs with real info, I know that now.

Yeah?

Not sure how that is relevant to you thinking something was real when it wasn't.   But carry on.

I think I paid $15 for alpha 6. I am close to $0.01 an hour. Definitely worth it. Lol

It's funny how people complain about a $20 game and the spend more than that on a horrible 90min movie in theaters you see 1x. Lol

Who cares? I paid 3 bucks, amount spent is irrelevant, just that money is spent. I'm noticing a fair portion of you have difficulty with reading comprehension, and stringing words together so I'm gonna bounce out of here, have fun guys.

Ironic, because a few minutes of research reading these message boards probably would've answered every question you had.   But I suspect you weren't really looking for an answer, you just wanted to make a point.  Well done.

$3 is the price of a small bag of chips. How is this worth your time?! Lol

I mean $3 you spent 10 years ago... How is that a concern of yours? How is that even an issue? i am sure 99% of us have come across and picked up/ignored $3 worth of change off the street/between couch cushions/found in pockets in 10 years.

Work is done daily, and we're working on a lot of things/bug fixes/optimizations. It's taking some time mostly because it's a small team + we want to do things right/most polished - definitely not abandoned

Hey thanks man, I bought a dedicated server for me and 3 friends. Been enjoying the hell out of alpha 21.

Again, reading comprehension skills, work on them. Have a good life.

You crack me up, your lack of searching or reading this forum is literally why you started this in the first place. You are projecting your own lack of awareness, lack of research, lack of reading comprehension. Lol

Cool. So then......why the angst over it still being in alpha? You say, "who cares if it was $15 or $3, it was money spent" so if you're having a blast with friends on a dedicated server enjoying the hell out of alpha 21, why care if the word "alpha" is still involved or not? I was the first person to answer your original post and I did so seriously and with accurate information completely ignoring the language you chose to use but you ignored me completely and went on an insulting rant about how @%$#ty the game still looks after all this time....

Oh...wait... did he bounce? He might've bounced. 

Well, have fun Bouncing Dude! Glad you bought a dedicated server to play this @%$#ty-looking game you assumed was abandoned....

And is enjoying the hell out of it!

It seems like we have been getting quite a bit of these type of posts. I guess that is part of the world we live in.    Is it so hard to just phrase something in a nice way? Guess I am getting old.

OT

I see it as a widespread phenomena (somewhat learned) across many age ranges and generations.  The stoics had it right, stiff upper lip.

The dopamine hit from "ranting" is a positive feedback mechanism for those that rant.  The internet and anonymity simply provides more opportunity to indulge.

Most people never learned to argue or debate, and respectful discourse does not get views.

Makes sense. I love to debate different views. You just always have to remember to look at it from the other point of view and be nice

Exactly.  There isn't anything wrong with having different opinions on things and discussing those differences.  It is quite possible to do so in a friendly and positive way.  No need to troll or rant or make accusations or belittle someone or anything like that.  Not saying that was all done here.
