Skepticism is perfectly acceptable. It reflects the natural stance of an honest thinker. While a skeptic’s questioning remains impartial, it doesn’t imply rejecting all claims outright until they meet your personal criteria for proof. Instead, it involves thoroughly examining the data at hand to assess a claim’s factual accuracy. To begin, consider the information that is presently accessible. Right now, there’s a free promotional window running until October 30th, allowing everyone to try the latest Alpha version for free. Additionally, CIG regularly shares weekly updates on their YouTube channel, titled “Around The Verse,” featuring interviews and behind-the-scenes content about ongoing projects. Watching a few episodes can provide a solid foundation. You’ll also find the most recent season three of ATV available online. Regarding their development timeline, it has indeed become more consistent and notably shorter compared to many AAA titles. The main difference lies in the lack of transparency about behind-the-scenes work for games like Star Craft 2, Diablo 3, L.A. Noire, or Team Fortress 2. Often only announcements and a few trailers are released, followed by a period of neglect until the game launches—sometimes up to seven or nine years later. CIG’s openness about every stage of development, along with inviting backers to participate in an extensive alpha test, suggests a faster pace than many would expect for such a large undertaking.
Thanks for the update, I’ll give it a try myself. I enjoy exploring and wanted to be cautious—just meant I’d wait until there’s clear information before investing any money.
