You didn't even quote the best stuff.
"lol you guys act so entitled bla bla bla you bought the game you can't just go buy madden and ask who worked on it"
Which is funny. Because not only did we buy an early-access game, expecting all the features we were promised will come, but madden is also a complete game AND includes credits to the entire staff.
While most of this was words of the dev-riding community, the devs agree with this bullstuff.
Then there's the ignored ordeal about the guy who didn't buy early-access. He pre-ordered the game. In like 99% of cases you can refund a preorder, as you don't have the promised game yet. Apparently Starbound is an exception. The devs are likely treating this pre-order as an 'early-access purchase'.
So is the game dead and never getting finished?
There seemed to be a different sound in the horn when i brought up Starbound as one of the abandoned early access games in the Project Zomboid thread.
Oh it'll be finished. Probably in 2016. And a lot worse than we all expected it to be.
wow that sucks. kinda reminds me of another game i know...
At least that game stopped updating after it was officially released, not before.
