Yeah, and lets be honest, most of us paid about $25 USD for Minecraft, and I know that I personally have over 200 hours logged on that damned game ( even if the game has no way to keep track of it) compared to a movie, popcorn and a drink at AMC, which will run you about the same cost for 2 hours of entertainment, NO ONE has the right to complain if MC quit updating tomorrow.

me thinks someone is insecure about their e-peen.... and its not the pc gamers this time around...
i can see why people are angry. i know i would were i to keep playing terraria to this date.
this whole thing was supposed to be iterative. buy our game, and we will keep updating it.
they basically made one big update and called it a day.
id say its still worth the money, but the dev kinda turned out to be an asshole (and not just with that whole console port thing mind you), so yeah, if you dont trust that dev anymore, you know what to do.
and if you feel the need to post another "hur dur pc elitizm!" dont worry, a bit of insecurity is nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm a tool for being excited about a game I already own, and my willingness to buy it again?Pebkio said:
Should I apply that same logic to me purchasing Beyond Good and Evil HD, or Psychonauts?
So you pirated it or am I just misinterpreting?FelixG said:
It's funny because I was snacking on popcorn when I saw this thread. It seems my stomach knew that I would need it!GenGenners said:
Wow, makes the creator come off as a bit of a lazy sell out.
"Yeah, well we decided to just have someone else make the port, which was sweet for us, but I have nothing to do with the stuff they're adding and don't intend to add any more... Pardon me while I go count the cash that I made selling the rights."
On the plus side I never played the game, so this affects me not.

No, of course, not. I'm expecting you to buy those six times over. I mean, that's a given. Who here hasn't paid for a sixth copy of either of those games while still owning the other five?Mumorpuger said:
Of course you should apply the same logic! What's the difference? Did you think that was a "gotcha" question? That I would defend the repurchasing (not as a gift) of Beyond Good and Evil or Psychonauts while a working copy is still in my possession? Well... I wouldn't... I'd actually think that would be a pretty "toolish" thing to do.
Whelp, whatever new shit Spinks is working on can fall by the wayside in favour of me getting through my backlog. I'm not interested any more after what feels like a betrayal.
Not buying the console version either, even though I could. Terraria? On a controller? Considering how fussy inventory management is with a mouse...yeah, bugger this noise.

Ah ok. I figured there was more to it. I agree, I tried the game for a bit at my friend's house but ended up becoming bored after the second in-game night.FelixG said:
if you recall, I was in the "stop whining" crowd in the first topic. But extra content that PC isn't getting, now that is a dick move.
Well if it's a different developer who is only focused on console... that is quite different.
But Spinks better make it clear that he has washed his hands of Terraria so that he can work n other things or else he is cashing in too much goodwill.
I'm not so miffed to miss content MADE BY ANOTHER COMPANY, it's not really Terraria content then. I might as well compare the console exclusive-extras with the mods that are only available on PC, both are made by outsiders.
Maybe Spinks should have made this clear IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I bought the game for a buck-fiddy in a steam sale, so I could care less, played it for a few hours and thought it was alright.
Shame that content developed by another studio for an other version of the game won't be coming to the version that has been declared to be getting no more updates... But you know, [insert entitled rage here].
£1/per hour bronze standard
£2/per hour silver standard
£3/per hour gold standard
£5/per hour platinum standard
So if the people raging about how great the game was and how they've been robbed played this $10/£6 game (£1.50 on sale) for even a dozen hours then they've easily gotten their "moneys worth". As example, mine craft/Tf2 are games I've sunk in about 200 hours each, and paid about £10 for each (got MC in alpha and tf2 before F2P) and it's great that they keep pumping out content. But if they stopped tomorrow then I've had WAAAAAY more than my moneys worth. Frankly if I started moaning about how they owe me more then I would sound like quite the twat.

And the nail was hit on the head here, I have a very basic standard for cost - time to determine the "Worth" of a game, it basically works out;MorganL4 said:

The thing that irks me here is how Spinks can expect people to ever buy one of his games again?
Next project he might drop the ball earlier then with terraria and then suddenly sell out to the consoleros again only having someone else finish the product.
Sorry but if you take a shit on your customers once they are not going to buy any other products of yours.
After all spinks is not bioware.
Its interesting to see how terraria came to be.. from ripping off Final fantasy sprites to what it is now. Maybe he should have sold away the PC version to someone else too if he wasnt dedicated enough to finish the product and keep the promises he aparantly made.

No extra terraria content coming to my PC - No extra money from me going to the dev.
The PC market is filled with great indies who deserve the money much more than this guy. Obviously no one is entitled to more content here but I honestly don't see how Spinks doesn't get that giving your fanbase the finger is a bad idea.
Oh well, I hope losing a big bunch of customers was worth it.

Did almost all the terraria players go emotionally insane. He at least doubled the content of this game since release. Why do people say it's half finished. It cost you at the most 10 bucks. You have absolutely no grounds for complaints. You guys are one of the reasons it's that much more difficult to get support when the pc owners are really getting screwed over.
Doubled? Quadrupled is more like it. It makes me sad to see people reacting this way over a $10 game with massive content.danon said:
Congratulations, not only have you made a complete spectacle out of yourself, you also shown that you are one of the most selfish "fans" of this game out there.BiH-Kira said:
He promised that more content would be made. Look at the game now compared to launch. It has more content. Promise achieved. He didn't promise infinite content.
The fact that you don't care about him wanting to take care of his newborn son is probably the most vomit worthy thing I've read on this thread. Especially since Terraria was made by a 3-person team. The other 2 developers left to make StarBound, the spiritual sequel to Terraria.
It's PC gamers like you that make us look like bottom feeding basement urchins who inhale Cheetos by the bag.
It was a question posed to hopefully make you understand that people will purchase games more than once if they particularly enjoyed it, or in my personal case, enjoyed a game and also want to support the developer.Pebkio said:
Well I'm not supporting that team ever again. Although I like how when console gamers were pissed off about Dark Souls content maybe not coming to consoles it was justified but when PC gamers are complaining about extra content they DO NOT get it is entitlement. That is a massive double standard. That said threats and going over the top don't help so I'll just not support them.
Also this is completely different to something like demanding a HD remake or complaining about a game stopping updates when they say they are stopping. This is a company promising updates then stopping, then promising updates and big news. This is news is then the game on a new platform(fine) with new content(fine) but content that won't be on previous versions in this day and age with update/DLC capability(not fine).
