Just in case anyone was waiting for sales instead of features.

Already on sale, when the price was supposed to go up after launch? It feels as if the publisher wants to wrangle some more money out of this before pulling the plug. Guess that's a very negative take and I hope I'm wrong.

For now I'll just let this sale pass and wait until a heat system is in place. That's the milestone I've set for myself as knowing myself I won't enjoy the game without the risk of kerbonauts burning to a crisp if I screw up.

In the end it doesn't feel like a discount anyway, but more like somewhat getting in the neighborhood of the price that this game should have launched at.

Sorry for the negative vibes.

Negative vibes are warranted for this one, IMHO. Very botched launch and still haven't delivered on the promises. KSP1 playership continues to outpace it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a death rattle.

I concur! Getting tired of the current market, paying money to be QA...

Well, I don't mind if it is done right. For example in case of Satisfactory devs listen to the community feedback and publish regular updates (in the form of update videos) about what they are working on. I also bought that game for a low price which justifies the 'work-in-progress' state the game is in.

With KSP 2 the publisher already threw away my trust by asking an absurdly high price compared to the state the game is in. That's just disrespectful, raises my expectations and warrants a lot more scrutiny than if this game has launched at say €15,-.

Edit: some additions and corrections, switching trains and a bumpy ride doesn't help my narrative. 😅
