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:
Terraria Creator Confirms No New PC Content
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
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).

Thank you for the kind words, tho I don't really care about them. Also, I wouldn't say I'm a fan at all.AzrealMaximillion said:
He promised a lot of content, specific content that never got into the game.AzrealMaximillion said:
I never asked for infinite content. I asked for the promised content. He set a goal of what the finished product would look like. The current games does not have a lot of the things that he said it would have. So it's not finished.
"Finished product will have X". Current product doesn't have X, therefore current product is not the finished product.
As I said, those are his problems. Not mine. He is the one who overestimated his abilities, it wasn't me. If I recall correctly, my parents had also kids, yet I don't see them giving up their jobs for it. He is the one who is unable to manage his time, to plan out his day. And he was working from home anyways. It's not like he would have to leave his son alone at home for 12 hours a day.AzrealMaximillion said:
Also, he has money that he got from people for the promise of the finished product. He could use it to finish the game. I know it's hard to understand it, but you can pay developer to work for you.
And care to elaborate why you brought up StarBound? Should I buy it in order to get the content that I was promised would be in Terraria? So I should buy the game again to get the full content?
So, I make all gamer look bad because I don't stay quite when someone tries to fuck me over? Sorry for not being spineless like you.AzrealMaximillion said:
He earned millions on the promise to add specific content to the game. He didn't keep his promise. People are entitled to complain.
When you go out of your way to alienate your main base to make a quick buck.lord.jeff said:
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.

This community is great sometimes isn't it?
I understood your comment, so no, it's not a case of me "not getting it". You were being smug and arrogant (and still are). Not everyone can go and buy a game on the console because not everyone has a console, novel thought isn't it? I also understood that you play games on PC, but you're still being a bit of a dick about the whole thing.Angry Juju said:
It's not "entitlement" (this word needs to fucking die) to be angry at the dev for screwing out the people who made the game what it is (and filled his pockets with cash), on the promise that he would meet a certain set of goals until the game was "finished". He has not, however, and instead decided to hand over the license to a different dev to port to consoles for some extra $ and pretty much told PC gamers to fuck off, going as far as even REFUSING to release mod tools, denying the community the right to make their own extra content beyond what is currently achievable by playing around with game files (which isn't much).
In short, the dev is a dick, he not only didn't keep his end of the bargain, he's refused to release mod tools, despite the fact that he's "washed his hand's clean" of the game.
It doesn't matter if you got it for $1, the dev said he would "finish" the game, and he hasn't. Won't. Refuses to. Then to add salt to the wound, he's also not releasing mod tools.
Yes. Gamers are "entitled" to feel angry, and this guy deserves every bit of shit he gets.
