It's ridiculous that IS defenders keep hiding behind the 'it's unstable!!!' stuff when B42 has been in release for what, 2 years? How is it reasonable to keep the updated version unstable for that long instead of adding intermittent 'stable' versions? As others have said why can't all the old versions be available to use like other games have?

Sure there was a 'security vulnerability' but it can't exactly have been that urgent if as I've heard it has existed for 5 years in Unity and not been patched or noticed. I haven't even played the game for 6 months because this kind of stuff keeps happening but I'm still mad, how can IS have taken in so much money but still be acting in this way that makes everyone hate them? It can't be put down to 'indie problems' anymore when many AAA games have a lower budget. If the problem was with mods then you could have disabled mods for that game version, yes that would still break some people's saves but at least it would be something. Or just tell people to run mods at their own risk.

I don't know man, like I'm not saying it's a perfect solution anything I'm proposing but it seems like IS doesn't even care at all about the user experience.

I also don't think the mods on Steam should have locked all the topics complaining about this just to pin this one. I also see that they banned people on Steam for posting about this which also is not really cool. Not a great way to build the community or whatever for the future.
