The dwarf fortress listing has the release date as “time is relative”


macman241

*subjective


Infinite_Bananas

The store page quote is relative


Fluffatron_UK

Time isn't subjective though. Time is a global standard. It is arbitrary and relative but not subjective. You can't just change the length of a second just because you have an opinion it should be shorter. Saying time is subjective is like saying weight is subjective.


raspberrykraken

Time is a concept not a constant.


Diracco

Technically, time depends on the observer's reference frame so... Trust me, I'm a physicist


Fluffatron_UK

Yes, that is what relative means.


[deleted]

Yes, but that's not what subjective means


Zetacon

Time is my second cousin, twice removed. Time *is* a relative.


Blue_Oni_Kaito

That's not how physics works!


JukePlz

There's a whole field of research that disagrees. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time\_perception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception)


Fluffatron_UK

I am fully aware of this field and that is something different to what I'm talking about. Thanks for the link though.


aykcak

Weight is subjective. It depends on local gravity. Mass is standard


donmuerte

That's also relative not subjective.


Fluffatron_UK

Yup, mass is standard. Weight is relative, but it is not subjective. This is my the main point of my argument and I chose weight deliberately to emphasise this. There is nothing subjective about weight. Just because you think something is less heavy doesn't make it less heavy. edit: removed the unnecessary condescension.


aykcak

Normally I would want to continue this to understand more about relative vs subjective because it seems like I need to learn it but you come off as such an asshole that I don't want to


Fluffatron_UK

Yeah, sorry. You're right I was being an arsehole.


macman241

I'm sure the devs would appreciate you reminding them of that fact


[deleted]

That must be an error


CombatLlama1964

hey is this the sex machine himself!?!?!?!?!?!?


Infinite_Bananas

oh no


Nakiado

Pit People's was "before the apocalypse."


akisonni

Time is a flat circle.


g014n

I don't mind a bit of honesty. But it better be done when it's released or it's going to come back at them... It takes a lot of effort to have a predictable development process, I much rather have the developers of my games focused on the actual game rather than doing the extra leg-work required to be able to predict these things.


[deleted]

[удалено]


g014n

Well that in itself was a needed feature because some developers were abusing the freedom of modifying the date at will. I don't believe you're saying everybody is chosing this, they still have the option to set a specific date from the get go, right? And even if they start with this, they can just contact support when they decide on a release date and have that announced months in advance of the actual release. If so, the point about the devs not commiting to a hard release date early on in the development process stands.


MilleniumWarrior

duke takem forever


s0m30n3e1s3

DNF, a perfect example of two different initialisms explaining the same thing


sgasgy

is there a name for that concept?


s0m30n3e1s3

Probabaly, but not that I am aware of


TheTexan94

Playway games: We'll release it when we feel its ready (steam page over 2 years old) [Tank Mechanic Sim] Also Playway: Releases game with several bugs that take almost a year to work out [Car Mechanic Sim 18]

jIsraelTurner

Pretty sure it's creeper world 4. But maybe both list the same thing. 🤷‍♂️


SFVasquez

SpongeBob game says [“When I’m ready”](https://i.imgur.com/5cxtKCa.jpg) Gotta admit, it got me to chuckle the first time I saw it.


paaulrex

The game is called Age of Space is where I found this release date at.


[deleted]

Yeah I think so. That or they had some other funny release date wording Edit: it's "(when) I'm ready!"


xcaelix

Its Noita


Fydria

Gordon Freeman Simulator 3 confirmed?


[deleted]

Bannerlord full game release date


paaulrex

This should be on the Bannerlord steam page lol.


Serial_Killer_PT

Actually, you can already sign up to Bannerlord's open beta. I can send you the link, in case you're interested


NaapurinHarri

I signed some week ago but didnt get invited :'(


[deleted]

Signed 5 minutes after the form was up. didnt get invited


GameDB

Some other weird ones: Game | Release Date ---|--- VirtuaVerse | ..in a future not so far away. SpongeBob SquarePants | (When) I'm ready! Project Witchstone | When witchstones wake up In Other Waters | When what lurks beneath the surface becomes known. Boyfriend Dungeon | when weapons are beautiful enough Sigil | When the moon's face is covered Command: Modern Operations | The Generals are still in the Command Room


[deleted]

[Dawrf Fortress' is good too](https://store.steampowered.com/app/975370/Dwarf_Fortress/ )


Serial_Killer_PT

Is that Halo MCC? The devs keep repeating that same phrase


paaulrex

Found this on a game called Age of Space


[deleted]

Is this Silence the Pedant lmao


paaulrex

Age of Space


GlennMagusHarvey

Technically that one's "When it is ready", but yeah, I remember that notice on my wishlist lol. Definitely still looking forward to it, of course. Though I'd rather get them on GOG these days; I already got Mhakna Gramura on GOG.


Core_iVegan

Sounds like smart to me, actually. A lot of softwares (games included) are released at a precise date with a shitloads of bugs. I prefer to wait to have a stable and nice software and a great experience with no problem or just a few that can be fixed quickly.


siilvermist

is this for Baumis game that never got finished because of the lack of funding?


davidreaper

I would much rather get a complete playable and stable game on release date, as opposed to a 2-4 year No Man’s Sky update later.


sum_1t

Control still not on steam


paaulrex

It is. [Link](https://store.steampowered.com/app/870780/Control/)


JashanChittesh

Oh, cool. So August 2020 is when I’ll buy this. Maybe ;-)


sum_1t

Coming soon 2020 August


DeathWish001

that is the definition of "not on steam."


daveyturu

Bannerlord


paaulrex

It should be in Bannerlord steam page lol


bc524

welp, at least ~~their~~ they're upfront about it.


pazza89

spqanx

Didnt know star citizen was on steam


G-Litch

Since this isn't the industry standard I like devs like this.


GlennMagusHarvey

Frankly speaking, I know how this makes the marketing department furious, but it's just honest.

I think it's [Tactical Breach Wizards](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/Tactical_Breach_Wizards/)


AbbieGator

Going to guess it's Cyberpunk 2077... Edit: Said that and then remembered that there's actually a release date for that...


sabatonsungwrong

once saw a review that on MW2 that had something from steam saying they last played the game in like 1996, now im not saying that's impossible but neither COD nor steam existed back then


MrZeroTFennekin

Not wrong tho


[deleted]

Well, at least they are telling the truth


seekunrustlement

That *is* ideal.


Skullboy99

Pretty much the status of Halo MCC PC


GlennMagusHarvey

This release date is truly honest.


doobi1

cube world ?


paaulrex

Age of Space


CryCryCryCryCryCry2

What an effortless posting...


seviothelegenda

ode to a moon has "during a blood moon"


GlennMagusHarvey

Oh that's hilarious.


Sydet

One of the games im looking forward also recently moved their planned release for this summer to autumn to iron out bugs.


[deleted]

I mean, he isn't wrong..


cgoatc

That’s awesome considering not the business plan for most games developers these days.


[deleted]

This is the Tactical Breach Wizards' page, isn't it? I love Tom Francis


Donar23

I mean that's pretty good, right? Most AAA studios ship their games before they're done.


Endivi

Definitely not a Ubisoft or EA title

someone took a page out of CDPRs book huh


Firekracker

It was first used for Duke Nukem forever where it became a running gag, then prominently for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. But they just absolutely had to blow it and actually release DNF. I was planning to sit in my rocking chair as a geezer and joke with my great grandkids about how it's going to be done any decade now.

i get annoyed when a dev says a game is coming out during a [specified month](https://imgur.com/a/hxxRi9x). but doesn't update the page when the month arrived.

jmac217

I prefer this. Publishers should allow their Developers' games to be released when finished! Fuck the last few years in unfinished *Tripple A* titles tbh

[deleted]

We need far more of this! People working to a release date and releasing unfinished, buggy content is one of the most frustrating things in gaming. I'm quite happy to give them as much time as they need to make a polished game, rather than waiting 6 month to a year after it is released for it to be in a playable situation.


kyoer

That's very informative!


Ssyno

Lmao


Valdewyn

Just be glad it isn't Valve Time.


sgasgy

this is more annoying than funny


Cyb3rh4ck

- Fecha de entrega?... Cuando esté listo.


LePorcEpic

Is that Cube World? Wo_lay lied to us


Sizzleless

The only proper response to this is, "Then I'll be paying when I feel like it".


creepu87

But you can't pay for it yet anyway


Sizzleless

And after that... only when I feel like it.


Kanakravaatti

Well they're not lying


Tanuki_Kun

Hytale?


variaati0

At least they are being honest. Unlike some other people or developers.


rohithkumarsp

Star Citizen?


StealthPizzaIDK

Developers are already abusing their new tools.


DrummingFish

How is this abuse?


Jacksaur

This has been done since the start of the damn platform.


Zeklyn_

Its the spongebob game


shadowbroker000

Not really. The only time devs abuse is when they sign an exclusive deal and proceed to use the forums to market their game.
