Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: phil995511I have much more confidence in Steam's funding model via Early Access !! And I find it hard to understand why the developers at KSA refuse to publish their game on Steam in early access...

Probably because it's way too early to call it early access. I guess they're more at the tech demo stage at this point.

To be clear, they are talking on the forum about distributing this game themselves directly, without going through intermediaries. However, going through Steam as they did for their four other games ensures high visibility and therefore more sales, with the added bonus of Linux compatibility via Proton and the early access. Steam also offers customers like us a certain degree of security.

In short, I am not confident about their business model as far as I am concerned. And I am even less confident about their position, whereby they are asking for a minimum of US$30 million in donations before they start developing a Linux version of their game...

It's a real shame, because I was following its development and eagerly awaiting its release, but I have to say that now I'm very disappointed.
