YOU TELL EM BRAD!!

from Stardock Forums

This is pretty obnoxious. If you feel the game is being rushed (just like people thought GalCiv was rushed and Sins was rushed and so on) then feel free to wait until February to play it.

Glad you told em Brad I'm with you how dare them complain about rushing this game. They have no clue about programming it or how the inhouse development is going. I strongly agree though if they don't like it don't play it till Feb or never. You and ME we don't care do we? ;)

I think Brad is being unnecessarily harsh on people asking him to delay the game. Most of us are aware we can choose to wait to play until February when the game has had 6 months of Stardock's awesome updates, but we want to see the game do the very best it can on the market. It's ultimately Stardock's decision to make and they (probably) know better than their fans when it's best to release the game. But I don't think anyone is lobbying for a delay out of some sense of being cheated out of their money or some other entitlement-related thing. 

Personally, many things I want out of Elemental have been relegated to post-release updates or expansions (deeper combat, better dynasty system, dungeon exploring). I have absolutely no problem waiting for post-release patches to have all these nice things and I don't even mind paying another $30 for an expansion that gives me the features I want. But gamespot and IGN and the average joe would look much more favorably on a game that has these nice things in the intial release.

In the end, it's not really my or your business whether they delay the game or not, but I think Brad should acknowledge people clamoring for a delay are just trying to be helpful.

I think there is worry that releasing the game early will hurt the final product.  I think it's unfounded

 

a) Preoders would still get the betas

b) Stardock's rep is pretty golden at this point

 

I'm not worried about it at all.  I think sales will be fine, and possibly greater since you're beating Civ V out to market when Civ V is having some rough seas due to confusion over DLC.

you also need to remember that what we get in beta, isn't all of what the devs have, the have a bunch more we haven't seen. Do you know how long they've worked on this? What they don't have is 800k pc's with various configurations to play this on. so they give us chucks of what they have, so we can get a taste and see what happens. All the crash reports we send them help them make all of what they have work for everyone.  Granted they're making adjustments and changes as the betas go on. But these people who scream OMG it's not ready...did you miss the first line of the splash screen when starting the game, that the beta doesn't represent the finished copy? The beta isn't for people who just want to play, it's for people who want to help the dev team make this great game even better and playable for anyone. Fun is optional, but, i gotta admit, i'm having fun.

my 2 cents

he said if he able to he would keep the game in beta forever... now only if the guys at 3d realms had a beta like stardock over them 10 years for DNF then they might not be where they are.

at least theres not going to be any Bullsh^t DLC, Xpacks are the only think worth adding to a game.

I don't really care if they release early or later i know this is gonna be better over Civ5 down with Steam ! DRM FAILS!
