It is a game in EA status. By buying this game you should understand that there is a very high chance your world won't make it to full release.
Personally I feel anyone complaining about this should receive some kind of ban from buying games in EA status on Steam . Save a lot of us the headache of listening to the same complaint over and over

So if I read this right you get annoyed by people complaining about being mislead by the Devs or criticizing poor work on their part and they get a pass because it's in EA status??

Of course, there's always the option to not be annoyed by not reading the comments in the first place ... ;)

Seriously tho', why would you be willing give any Dev team a pass because they're trying to milk more money out of a game by abandoning it and selling out to the most evil game franchise ever? I have ZERO problem with people making money ... but ...

Personally, I think if a game developer publishes a game they have a responsibility to fix it up. Perhaps I'm weird. But then I also think car makers shouldn't release cars with bad airbags. ;P ;)

It took me all of 15 minutes to make a couple backup / restore routines that preserve the player's world and character. I'm not a programmer. Is it wrong to expect a game (especially after it hit it big) to be fixed up properly? Proper backup should be a core feature.

No offense intended but I truely don't get you attitude that they get a pass because it's in EA status.

OK, I can see a quick and dirty backup routine when they're first starting design, but this game isn't "just released" and hiding behind "well it's still in alpha" is nonsense. When you have created something that millions of people have bought you are responsible for taking care of them. Letting people lose their entire progress and/or character is just callous.

The average game player plays for FUN, not to becaome a computer tech and have to program their own backup system. Nor should they have to research to "see if it's in EA status" before bying so they can be aware that it means you won't get support.

At least that's the way I see things.
