Not defending the dev here, since I too think it's a scam for what has been done so far, but people forget devs also need to pay rent, buy food, you know, pay to being able to continue to exist in pretty much anywhere in the planet. On bigger projects, there's also resource allocation, so you have to pay other people to do what you want how you want it done. And so on...

Now, what would allow it to go on for extended periods of time? A one-time purchase, or a subscription?
Exactly... it's sadly how the world works today. You don't make products anymore, you make services based heavily around hopes, dreams and lots and lots of lies and excuses.

Bruh, that game has one of THE most counter-intuitive control setups I've ever seen. It's like the dev went
"Hm, there are control schemes that have been in use for decades now and EVERYONE uses it. But why the hell should i too? Fuck em, I'll just make the most messed up, confusing and irrational mess of controls I can, see how they like it!"

There is tons of extremely annoying decisions in this demo so far, the controls, UI, gigantic maps first instead of systems and gameplays implementation first. It's a clusterfuck of good ideas thrown togheter with spit and duct tape.
This one issue of controls is also so fucking easy to solve, let the user fucking rebind keys. There's tons of guides, tutorials, and free examples on how to do it in ANY Unreal Engine version.

Maybe it'll be done later, maybe not, who knows.

So, after finally figuring out what I was doing wrong with the installation, I was able to play this game. I also got User ID is corrupted and it's because the Pre-Cracked version is already cracked. I figured that because there's a link to download the crack that the "Pre" part of Pre-Cracked meant that it was "before cracking" not "already cracked" but oh well.

Now, I suck at FPS games and not used to using keyboard and mouse, so after having enough of a difficult time, I lowered the difficulty and activated a few cheats.

My question though is, where am I supposed to go? I talked to the trader and then met and talked to the virtual girl. I went from the Highway to the City Outskirts then to the City where I wandered for a few hours. Then I went to the other exit to City Outskirts, followed by the other exit to the Highway. Went onto the Hoverbike, fell through the ground in a hilarious way, then went to the Swamp. Am I missing something?

If you are playing 0.19, you're not 'supposed' to go anywhere, there aren't any goals yet.
With 0.20, they added quests.

Word. I tried the game last year, quickly dropped it. Big world, but basically empty, lots of features still WIP, can't remember whether the Quad still had no textures back then or just got them, but that was lame. Just one type of enemy with iirc 1 animation. Stupid UI. Shit controls, etc. The idea is good, but the realization is like he just randomly works on stuff as he feels like it, then gives up before it's finished and then goes to fuck around with other stuff.

Well for non-porn, usually its:

One-time fee for base game.
One-time fee for DLC/Expansions.
Microtransactions layered on top.

Usually they make their biggest bank on DLC/Expansions. I think Diablo 3 made more money on Reaper of Souls, than it did the base game.

You do have whales and cows that will fund microtransactions, but a lot of people don't like paying for them, and don't if they are cosmetic only.

It's mildly entertaining seeing this thread slowly grapple with ideas of supply & demand economics without even acknowledging their influence.

Just in case it's not clear - you, me, we are all voluntarily participating in a niche, supply-constrained market. That means the person who controls the supply (the developer) gets to set the rules of the market.

If you don't like those rules, you're free:

A) leave the market, until the rules change to your liking
B) take your money/attention/engagement to the existing competition (which is thin at best)
C) grow the supply by developing your own "shooter with porn" game, with blackjack and hookers
D) bitch and moan endlessly about money you're not paying, while thirstily lapping up every version of the game that leaks

I mean, we used to get official releases - they were just delayed. Devolution got tired of update after update people were making cracks to get the current paid update before it was made public, so I guess they just kind of got rid of the public updates.

I, like most others, still agree that DRM should fuck off entirely. It doesn't even do much to stop pirating anyway, and if you're going to make any kind of media (games, music, videos, art, whatever), you should already know that it will be pirated no matter what you do. This has always been the way, and the sooner more developers understand that it's pointless to waste development time implementing DRM, the better the games will end up being. Pirating is just free advertising anyway.

Looks like there's grass and other things placed below or inside mountains and buildings
And whatever that tower thing on the right is
Game crashed a few moments later
