Terraria Creator Confirms No New PC Content

[Joccaren]

You are able to play more than one game on an Xbox, and unless you hardly play any games anyway, I can guarantee everyone has at least one console exclusive that they would want if they owned a console.

Not really, no. As a player primarily of 4X and RTS games, a few RPGs on the side with a couple of indie titles like FTL and Minecraft, consoles have very little in the way of exclusives I'm interested in - with the few attempts at RTS or 4X games on them having failed pathetically, RPGs easily controlling better on the PC [Note: RPG, not action RPG] and generally being released on PC as well, and the few indie games I am interested in being on the PC.
Things like the newer Halos, GoW - both god and gears - Uncharted, any racing games or pretty much anything I've seen as a console exclusive - and a lot of what I've seen in the way of multiplatform games.
Of course, I don't know every single console exclusive out there, but even then I doubt I'd find more than 1 or 2 games to add, which would still not justify a $300+ purchase that I'll use far less than my PC with all games I have even a chance of playing multiplayer on, let alone the number of single player games I have. Consoles simply don't offer much, if anything, in terms of games I'd actually go out and buy. Its the reason I haven't owned one for several years, and why even at friends houses I generally bring my laptop over and play LAN instead of jumping on their console for splitscreen multiplayer. Sure, there are exclusives, but to my tastes they're nothing compared to what I already have on PC.

How is someone a sellout for allow more people to have a chance of playing his game?

When you go out of your way to alienate your main base to make a quick buck.

Since the dev is done with the PC version with no updates, why not release the source code so people can make mods? Why make promises and then not keep them. Why bait current fans then give them the finger? Because he is a sellout and a bit of a dick.

To be honest if he just let people make mods no one would give a crap. It's because people love terraria and because it had so much potential that people are pissed that he purposly left it handicapped.

What exactly did we get promised other then more content for the game? Seriously other then the bosses, the hardmode and a general promise for more content all of which we got, I don't remember any other promises. I'll agree that the source code would be nice but I don't see why that's an argument point as to why he can't provide a multiplatform release.

This is where your argument falls apart. No offense but no PC players give two craps that it is going multiplatform. People keep saying it over and over but people like you just keep repeating that all they care about is keeping it PC exclusive which is so wrong its getting a bit like stereotyping.

They are upset by the way redigit just cut and ran after 1.1, said he was done with terraria, then got everyone hyped at this big terraria news, then revealed that another platform is getting exclusive content when the only ones who would be excited about the news initially were PC fans. If the consoles were getting the same content no one would give two craps but its the way terraria's development ended then see another platform get the content when you get the finger.

If the source code was the issue then why is this shitstorm suddenly happening now, not when he ended updates? Also I'd much prefer my other question addressed more, what exactly did we get promised other then more content for the game?

Do you have a reading disorder that I am not aware of? You completely ignored my entire post to hammer away at two points that had nothing to do with my post. You are either quite ignorant or a troll. Either way I am not going out of my way to research information for someone who doesn't have the decency to actually respond to what I typed in the first place so please by all means if it means that much to you find it yourself. Off to play some borderlands 2

I will give you a tip though. http://www.terrariaonline.com/members/redigit.9411/recent-content

Please don't go to insults I'd rather discuss what is at hand over who can come up with the best synonym for idiot.

I asked it the way I did because to argument that you ignored from the previous post was the strong of the two things I said. But to address your point of

That sounds more lie being bad at PR more then being a sellout.

He isn't the one making the content, would you prefer he just told 505 Games that they could touch his game in any way other then porting it?

You're missing the point dude. He's refusing to release mod tools, that's the biggest problem.

He's done with the game, why doesn't he just release the game to the fans?

I do think he should release the dev tools as well, I just wouldn't go as far as to call him a sellout for because of the console release.

The reactions and comments to news like this is why I refuse to call myself a PC gamer... Nice to hear it's being brought to more platforms though.

Well console always steals the cool shit of pc! I wanna have the new updates for terraria but buying a xbox + a new copy of the game is waaaaayyyyy to expensive! (And controllers suck...) JUST GIVE US THE SAME UPDATES! The developers of terraria are just to lazy to update it for pc!!!
