Except we already know that he's willing to sell, so if MS came knocking, i bet it'd be just a question of how much. If it can get off its feet of course.

I played it for a bit, it's a tech demo through & through. Looks good, ui & other features such as controls need dialing in but they've stated for it they're just getting the ground work in. Can't really say to much about it because it's just a tech demo but what I can say is I'm a little sceptical about how this game will fund itself.
Now I need to prefix this with I really don't care Dean left dayz, some people really latch onto this but either way the best thing that happened to dayz was Dean leaving.
What bothers me is how much work has been put into the "Donation" website, feels like it's been really engineered so they can capture 100% of the "donations" because Dean hates the 30% store fronts. The website itself feels really gamified, with daily, weekly & monthly "donations" & a banner vomiting out live donos & analytics & total raised. I'm just skeptical this isn't an attempt to tap into a niche market, Robert Space industry style.
The C:DDA devs almost feed off of being antagonistic. I'm so glad BN & TLG got spun off as their own cataclysm forks because the Core devs of DDA are really quiet negative.
I'm a bit confused, wasn't this announcement ages ago? Is it coming out soon?
Edit: yeah it was announced in December 2023, I thought I was going crazy there.
I'm excited for kenshi 2, even if I'm beyond wary of it being made in Unreal engine...
For a second there I thought that amazon had bought the rights to star trek...
Goddamn, those wolves with high beams are a menace!
I just think this is going to be a bit of a mess no matter what way it goes. People have such a different idea of what this game is now based on the riot drive.
& I can't help but think that's kinda the point of buying it, because you only need to sell it in one burst of hype to make a quick buck, look at cube world for example.
Also the game has been sold off once, if someone like M$ came knocking, even just to kill it, you think if he makes a huge profit off the purchase, he'll say no?
I think a lot of people have been waiting for this & the hype around it is just going to lead to disappointment.
