[SNIP]
So think of it this way, let's say your favorite game on your preferred console, after being abandoned by the developer, was suddenly being ported to another platform. Except, this time, it was being done so with a wealth of free, extra content.

How many of you would be upset at this news? How many of you would be angry at the original developer for, after saying he was done with the game, licensing a new version with new content on a platform you don't have the game on? How annoyed would you be to realize you'd have to buy the game twice to experience this new content?

If you say to yourself, "I wouldn't be", you're lying.

I'm a bit indifferent. I liked Terraria, a fantastic game even. But at $10 I feel like I definitely got my monies worth with it. Even if they released the new content, I doubt I would jump back on just to play it at this point.

Wow, Andy, that was a rather professional news item compared to your previous one. Nice to see you doing your job instead of baiting your readers.

Keep up the good work. Please.

do own a ps3 but I?m a teenager and my money is quite tight so I don?t like to pay 10$ for a game I already own and I highly doubt the new content will be spectacular enough to warrant a purchase and it will probably be added in a mod anyway.
kind of lost interest in terraria a while ago anyway mainly because like so many games(dragon age origins any Bethesda game.)my main enemy became the inventory system as I spend more time selling and sorting my stuff than actually playing the game.

Bought the game, found it to be, let's be honest, pretty crap. So it's indie, so what? So was Minecraft, so is FTL, so is Castle Story.

Despite the fact that PC gamers are getting "screwed" by the developer and missing out on new content, let's be serious.

There Are Many, Many Better Games Than This One Out There.

FTL is pretty cool.



So is Castle Story.

Do you actually expect me or anyone else on this site, hell, anyone else on the internet, to take you seriously as a journalist when you blatantly lie about what people are saying to such a degree that Bill O'Reilly would be asking you to tone it down? And then, when you're called out on it and finally are forced to report the facts, you actually PRAISE the guy for screwing his fanbase and point out that we can't really blame him for pursuing easy money at the cost of his fans?

What a farce.


Despite the fact that everything you just wrote was actual solidified awesome, I have to point something out.

I work for News Corp.

Not all of us are like Bill, there's a janitor somewhere who has his head screwed on right.


..

And the guys who make coffee? I dunno.

The game cost 10 bucks and we have gotten loads of free content. Seriously guys what are you talking about. This is one of the best value for money games there is.

Meh this seems really unfair but I honestly couldn't care less, I played a ton of Terraria on release but haven't touched it since, I'm just not interested in any further content.

Wait, so are people hating on Spinks, or the company handling current Terraria?
Honestly, this whole situation seems dumb. Give PCs the extra content, keep fans happy, get some more sales, put the finished game on consoles, leave it alone for good.

Well, at least I can look forward to Starbound, whenever the hell that comes out.
THIS. GUYS, NONE OF THIS EVEN MATTERS.

For crying out loud, you can be a MONKEY who has pet ALIENS. And they're shooting for this year. They've said that prepping for release is why there have been so few updated as of recent.

Enjoy it, until the developers abandon the game when it's only half finished, then announce a quicky cash-in port.
It's not Re-Logic. It's Chucklefish Games, being directed by Tinyuri. Also, Terraria is pretty complete. Although this whole deal thing might interfere with potential mod support.

It's not like I can just go out and play it on a console! That would drop me down from being part of the PC master race.
Or force me to waste $300 on a console, $10 getting the game again, and IDK how much getting a TV, seeing as the ones in my house are used by my family to watch TV.
Not quite as easy as you make it out to be. I could get a new computer for that money.

Sort of reinforces my point, doesn't it?

Which begs the question: "Why would the console players be so insulting and cruel towards the PC players over this announcement?"

Having dealt with it so often you'd think they would be more accommodating, given they know how annoying and frustrating it can be.

Kind of makes it ironically hypocritical when (some*) console players call PC gamers childish and entitled.

Once again, PC gamers are only pissed because that promise that we'd continue getting support was a lie, and they refuse to give the PC open source coding for mods to make the game have a life of its own.

Seriously, I can live with them getting extra content. I payed $10, and I payed for what I got at the time. Griping about it would be like griping about a DLC release. I'm not entitled to it.

However, I AM mad about the drop in updates. We were promised updates. He made 1 major update then cut and run. Which is fine. But the standard thing to do is then to release to source code and mod tools to the community to ensure the game continues selling and thrives.

Yet he refuses to do so. For no reason. And thats why PC gamers are pissed. Its a game that owes is success to its devout community. It was us who took up the role of marketing, of testing the game while still in the Beta phase, and keeping the project going. Asking for mod tools or support isn't a demand thats too far out there.

I full expect a series of posts casually alluding to elitism while simultaneously coming off smug and superior. It's so unusual from this community...
I know, right? It's almost like the litany of console gamers who constantly berate PC gamers, usually accusing them of "elitism", are guilty of the very things they allude to.

Oh the irony!

Also: Are you psychic?

Glance two posts up from your own. If your timing had been just a bit quicker your post would have been deliciously prophetic.

Turns out not buying Terraria when I was introduced to it was a good thing. Guess I can thank my Minecraft addiction for that.

It's funny because there are more assholish posts claiming that the elite PC master race and gunna end up getting all butt hurt and swamp the posts then there is any justification for those posts.

Either way, dick move, won't be buying their next game. If he was "Sticking to his guns" he would be releasing a final update that was worth a crap for PC.

You know, I'd be totally fine with this if I could just download a billion mods for this game. The genre (someone mentioned "world building," so I'm going with that) really lends itself to mods, and I could easily see myself being able to do some quick 2D objects (Minecraft is in the unfortunate 3rd dimension, and I never learned how to use any free 3D modeling tools [and am waaaay too lazy for the game of "math the points"]). It's kinda sad that the devs aren't willing to throw the community a bone here--Terraria is a stupidly fun game. Unfortunately, once everyone runs out of things to do, it'll disappear into the ether on the PC (here's some optimism that the console team will keep updating their version regularly). Games like this don't really don't have any staying power without mods (unless someone, somewhere, thinks they can make this an E-sport; it's certainly not winning any awards with its story here), or at least frequent content dumps (free or otherwise).

And to the console users who are saying "Get over it, it's just $10! Entitled, entitled, entitled.": Developers have broken promises to you as well. (Some of) you were just as angry then as PC users are now. Telling us we're entitled elitists doesn't make developers think about the promises they make. Getting pissed with us and demanding better services at least shows we're all on the same page when it comes to quality.

Lastly, fellow frustrated PC users: Next time we get a port with more content than the consoles--despite that content being promised to consoles--let's remember this and tell developers to keep their damned promises, even if it's not directly benefiting us. Let's get pissed off with console users.

Enough with PC vs. console, let's all fight together for gaming, damnit.
