maybe im asking for too much - i dont know.


I think the issue is that people buy the license key under the notion that this is all that Data does, and that there will be consistent updates. There really should be more of a disclaimer on the purchase page, saying that you are paying for the privilege to essentially beta-test a piece of unfinished software that may or may not ever be released in a final version, and that is not the developer's primary concern above all else.

I'm by no means complaining, I bought a license and have not regretted it considering the hours and hours of enjoyment I've gotten, and continue to get out of CC. It just seems like more information for new users might dissuade some of this.

I would like to see more updates, as well, but I've been on the forums long enough to know that that's not how it works around here, and I knew that before I made the purchase, as well.

Put it this way.... DR does not have to update CC ever. Even if you purchased a License.

Well for starters that is practically what it says, if you play the game by demo before purchasing it you will see a disclaimer saying that it is a beta and is in production and secondly data has mentioned before that the game may never be completely finished, though I don't know if this is shown anywhere that potential customers will see.

Right, that was more or less my point, I guess. It should be on the page when you go to buy it, which as far as I can remember, it is not.

Well...Sort of. Actually, what it says is:

Quote:
The Game is Far From Done!

Please note that Cortex Command is currently a work in progress and NOT a finished product! The campaign mode and missions are not yet present in the version available right now. However, you may buy a discounted license today, which will unlock the features of all future versions up to and including the final with the full campaign in it!

As we at Data Realms continue to release more complete builds of the game, we will also be reducing the discount gradually until we reach the final version and full price of the product. So the earlier you buy, the better value you get! Although we are very passionate about this project, we cannot guarantee that it will be completed - that's why we offer the discounted price instead of a pre-order deal at full price.

Thank you for your understanding and support!


Really all that this says is that you are buying an unfinished product, and it does even imply in the first paragraph that the game will be finished, but then sort of near the bottom it says that there is no guarantee of a finish product. There is no mention at all as to how often the game is worked on, and how often status updates are posted.

Hm.......
Well, there are several legitimate reasons CC could not finish.
Like Data dying (No not like that "IS DATA DEAD" topic Neo posted. Fun, but yeah.)
Or better yet, the economy.

B18 to B19 was almost a year, if I remember right.

We (at least those of us who aren't 12) have had long waits before. Get over it.
