I agree that's a complete dick move on their part. But when you see "We may, from time to time at our sole discretion and without notice or liability, create, amend, change, or delete any content from the IGP Offerings." at the top of their terms, that should raise a *huge* red flag before you reach for your wallet in the first place.
And thanks for proving my point. It's a crowd-funded project, the fuck do you people expect? These things happen all the time with these kinds of projects. But why should I bother trying holding a rational discussion with a bunch of rabid self-serving fanboys.
Can you tell me who his employer is? Cause I sure as hell would love to get paid to post comments on slashdot. Haven't found a single sponsor dumb enough to fund a slashdot shill in all these years of searching. Maybe one day.
Yeah, Sim City 4 is not a bad game. It punishes the living hell out of the hardware, but it does well on its own in terms of gameplay.

Y'know, I understand there's a strong vein of libertarianism in the engineering and tech sectors - and there's nothing wrong with that - but this backwards teapartesque anti-science bullshit has got to go.
Tu quoque's don't get us anywhere. Just point out that there are political pricks who're douchebags, which we already know. Yes, that includes Al Gore. No, that does not change the science of climate change. Yes, his stupid documentary made me want to vomit. Science should be explained by scientists, not those with agendas.
Minecraft has been and is under continual development. 'Release' has a much more tenuous meaning here, there was already a large and well established community for the game well before it was officially 'released'.

Yeah, I saw that mentioned in the last line of the email. I didn't realize they were abusing the community so badly.

I avoid these situations by paying for a product only after it has been fully developed, or in a state where I'm content and can keep with.

Ooh, I see I touched some of the nerves of the whiny & picky constituents.

The fan base shouldn't be so whiny and picky. That goes for any fan base or gaming community.
Aren't strawmen convenient. Read the thread.

Well poisoning. There's a 'common sense' reason that phrase doesn't have a good connotation.
Let go? What do you replace it with?
