They seem to be happy to let you pay $30 for the Alpha version though, despite it being in Alpha since at least 2009 (based on the date on the FAQ). I'm surprised PayPal will let you pre-order something that has been more than 4 years in development and has no release date.
- chii 13y agoIt's playable, and you can use the in game editor to make your own maps/scenes. Not too different from what minecraft was when it was early alpha.
- Tmmrn 13y agoOn the one hand you keep reading "developers need to eat" and on the other hand you keep reading comments like yours. Buying the alpha means paying for continuous development... Also, you get a new download of the current state every time they have some significant changes.
- Erwin 13y agoI've backed around 40 KS projects. I'm happy to microfund projects that have a realistic timeplan. I think if you're selling alpha access to something that has been in development for 4+ years and doesn't seem to have a clear time plan for completion, maybe you need a disclaimer -- especially when dealing with PayPal, which is infamous for being strict about what you can sell through it.
