Seeing all these people shitting on Hytale is genuinely insane to me. - Game gets announced 9 years ago, one of the most hyped up games ever - Developer makes 20 million from selling Hytale to Riot, can literally retire for the rest of his life - Riot runs Hytale into the ground over the course of years, community gets strung along for the ride - Riot CANCELS Hytale, community is in complete shambles - Developer comes out of retirement when he and his wife recently started a family to try and save the game, makes a bid and reacquires the IP - Bid gets accepted, dev spends months away from family to undo all the years of bad development so the game can become playable asap - Sets a release date that’s super early because although he knows the game is extremely unfinished, he wants to get it out asap so the community can finally play it - Spends WEEKS telling everyone how unfinished the game is to temper everyone’s expectations but promises consistent updates - Game releases, half the people are shitting on it because it’s unfinished and they say it’s not worth $20 - ??? I haven’t played the game yet because I wanted to wait until it was a little more complete, but seeing all the discourse actually makes me want to play it sometime this week. Regardless though, it’s genuinely insane to me that this game is already so ahead of its time even in early access that people are legitimately comparing it to MODDED MINECRAFT (a modded version of a finished game that’s been out for 20 years) and think that they’re valid for doing so. Keep up the great work @Simon_Hypixel , as someone who wanted to play this game since I was 16 years old because I always loved games like Minecraft and Cube World, I’m thankful that there has come a point in my life where I actually am able to. People are always going to look for reasons to hate on everything; don’t let the negative noise drown out the fact that starting yesterday, you were able to fulfill a dream millions of people have had for almost a decade now of finally being able to play your game.
