Speaking of looking forward to a game. I am looking forward to Sword of the Stars 2 which is downloading right now.

Wow, didn't know it was releasing now. Did you buy it and download or did you torrent it? Seems most versions on torrent sites are the beta version.

Ps, I havn't played a single of the games in the poll (except the beta of BF3). Doubt I will this year.

Reading a bit more it seems to be a beta release, even after they got the right version out.

We are all in the same situation. The developers had an insane crunch time which made the whole team stay awake for around 50 hours. In that zombie state they uploaded a beta version of the game.... twice it seems. I am not in such a rush, but there are plenty of ADHD kids who need the game right now.

However I also torrented it because it seemed like a good way to get my ratio up on bitgamer. Those suckers are still leeching it even today, still ignorant of it being the wrong version.

Sosseres:
As far as I can tell the second version is the release version, Paradox style. Ie the paid beta version with first true release timing being the first expansion. :p

They always seem to release too early and continue development after release for longer than other companies.

AceHigh:
Yeah, sounds right.

I wish paradox would learn a bit from Minecraft and Mount & Blade. Those 2 released an actual beta and sold that beta so they could fund further development... and the fans love them for it. It's all about honesty.

split the topic to make it a bit more on-topic ;)

as far as i can tell the only difference between the falsely uploaded "beta" version and the actual "release" version is that in the release version the options button is greyed out, as opposed to not working. and that the game crashes when i try to start a new game, as opposed to crashing once i initiate the first scan.

... *yay!*
