It’s been over 7 years since the game was announced, and after being cancelled by Riot and bought back by the original devs, against all odds it is FINALLY playable!

The game was supposed to come out in an hour but it seems the devs released it early. I’ll wait and see some early gameplay but it looks like I might buy it on launch day. Feels surreal that the wait is finally over.

    Yeah, with an attitude like that I’ll sure as hell not buy outside of Steams customer protections. Too bad

      Well you never know, I could be wrong. I’m just cynical after so many experiences over the years.

      I used to preorder stuff. I’ve been burned so hard. I look at Lost Epoch as a comparison closest to a game like Hytale though. Early videos do look shiny so far because downloads started ~45 minutes early. They need to keep landing sales though for revenue to be worth it with a team of 50+

      The skin crowd is already going nuts. (Why would you pay $50 on skins for a $20 game again? in a game with modding support and gear that changes your appearance… just why? lol - i’ve never been the spend thousands of dollars on skins guy though. Probably $20 in guild wars 2 over a decade for a couple mount skins that have no free options…)

      I believe their user agreement said something about waiving the right to refund when I checked it out last night as well.
