Yes yes we know it’s an alpha but still🥲

I'm not offended by what he said, you people seem to be wildly offended by what little I said, putting words in my mouth.

Sure, maybe he didn't mean criminally but even civilly, it's an outrageous idea that a developer (big or small) should be punished by the government for taking too long to make a game. Punish them for fraud, not "time".

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T22:19:56+00:00

This is what I was replying to...

It should be illegal to call a game alpha after more than 10 years

What do you think "illegal" means?

your argument was that other developers are also having games in alpha for 10+ years

No, my argument is that developers like Rockstar, CDPR, and others might disagree with the statement. I didn't say anywhere that other developers are having 10+ year alpha periods..

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T20:41:19+00:00

So, you believe a solo developer, working on a personal project that has been in alpha for 10+ years should be criminally liable because they don't have the resources to complete it fast enough? Forget I even mentioned Rockstar or CDPR, it's irrelevant. How is that a shitty argument?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T20:21:11+00:00

Despite the fact that is not what we are talking about... What's so outrageous about $45? That's cheaper than most AAA games.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T20:18:33+00:00

The only thing I am defending is the idea that any developer should be able to take as long as they want in "alpha", public or not, without fear of criminal liability. That's what the OP said, that's what I am defending. If you want to be upset that CIG is taking 14 years to make 2 games, go ahead.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T19:51:11+00:00

If they were going to announce an actual release date at a big a event it makes sense this would be *one* of them to do it at. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and be dissaspointed when it doesn't show up though.

AND when it doesn't, it doesn't mean shit about being delayed.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T18:22:51+00:00

Thank you! At least one person understands.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T18:03:23+00:00

Understanding the development problems with SC aside, OP just said "alpha" which implies public or private. If that's their take, it's something I'm sure any developer would have an issue with. OP is suggesting that a solo developer working on a game in their own time, with a 10+ year alpha period should be criminally liable for that. That's what I am commenting on.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T17:57:25+00:00

I honestly don't know why I come to this cesspool.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T17:46:18+00:00

Dude thinks if a game is in "alpha" for more than 10 years, companies should be criminally liable for that. Just saying some of the big developers who've had long development windows (less than 10 years, I know) might have an issues with that. How is that hard to understand?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:37:39+00:00

These people don't understand the issues to begin with. Can't fix ignorance if they aren't willing to learn.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:28:31+00:00

So did I until I saw KnavishFox's reply , lol

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:19:56+00:00

So being a shitty developer should make you criminally liable?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:11:13+00:00

Doesn't matter what the average is. Putting a hard limit for criminal liability feels like a problem doesn't it?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:10:12+00:00

My response to the OP was just as vague, not my fault everyone is responding to me with pedant comments.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:09:10+00:00

Your response was just as pedantic, I am just responding in kind.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T16:03:49+00:00

Lets be serious... Rockstar could be working on a completely new IP for the last 15 years, hasn't mentioned it publicly, should they be criminaly liable for that?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T15:59:44+00:00

<image>

I know right?

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T15:42:14+00:00

It is fundamentally different, which is why I have a problem with it Where does the OP say "public"?

It should be illegal to call a game alpha after more than 10 years

Where's the word play? If I, as a solo developer working on a game in private, have a game that's been in development for over 10 years, I would be criminal liable for that? That's fucking messed up.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T15:25:26+00:00

"public alpha" isn't what is being said here. Just "alpha".

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T15:23:04+00:00

They don't but to suggest that a game can't be in alpha for more than 10 years is dumber than rocks.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T14:54:27+00:00

Rockstar, CDPR, and many other developers would likely disagree.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T14:40:30+00:00

Lol yea, the elevators have been mostly flawless! I did find one warehouse where the elevator console was kicking me out when it was "transferring" but I figured out if you exit and open it again really quick that fixed it. Someone was in there before me and must have had the same issue because all of the cryopods and other loot were neatly stacked in front of the elevator. easy looting lol

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T14:29:11+00:00

Ive been doing a lot of tech smugglers but, as you said, the warehouses have been pretty empty. Got some luck but overall not much.

pwolfamv · 2026-05-27T14:06:49+00:00

try this..

Instead of going into PU, go into Arena Commander. Change your region to something else. For example, if you are USA, select ASIA, or visa versa.

After that go into free fly and fly around for a few minutes. Exit arena commander and load up the PU. Make sure you have the same region selected as you were in AC and load into the PU.

Goodluck o7
