    Hey everybody!

    I know we are all busy blowing up planets and bug testing, but there is something that needs to be addressed.

    After looking around on the steam forums for PA it is a nightmare of (UN-leaded) discussion, and Garat.... After reading some of those threads i can't help but feel sorry for you lol. makes this forum look like kindergarten nap time.... but i digress

    I believe if some of the more post friendly members of this forum/community made a presence on the steam forums (as raevn has done so) it would really make constructive conversation easier...but yeah there is a lot of confusion and speculation present.. and an overall lack of organization.

    so please for the sake of garats sanity (and valve operators as well) somebody go and help them out!

    To be frank, given the trouble we had with with just a few Steam users coming over here to muck stuff up, I don't want to deal with all of them at once in a never ending up-hill battle.

    Fair enough... and to let you know I've used the dev hacks to replicate your posts on to steam... With all due credit given of Course!

    Dev hacks? You mean Copy/Paste?

    That's the other problem, you can't reason with a mob.

    Dev Hacks is referencing the PA control panel options where at the bottom Cntrl-c and Cntrl-v lets you copy and paste units....if your in dev console mode

    I just went and searched specifically for it.
    it just went in circles and circles. It's quite amusing actually.

    So yea, let us have our nice little comfy Uber Backing forum and let steam people be on steam.

    I don't understand why some people have such a problem with the pricing. in most games, the pricing goes up, so only a short percentage of the lifetime of the game, it's cheap. PA is only a small percentage of it's lifetime expensive and after launch it can only go down.

    It seems the Steam forums want discussions for the sake of discussions.

    Unfortunately it would probably send all the hate elsewhere, possibly here.

    It's like 4Chan: for as long as the evil lurks there, it doesn't lurk here.

    At first I was thinking: "What? There's no steam forum for PA."
    Then I remembered the existence of Steam Discussions.

    The actual PA Discussions page doesn't look too bad, though. Outdated, maybe.

    Those are some hefty implications. It's like you think that all of 4chan is /b/ and /v/

    I only know of 4Chan from the evil it sparked. So yea my POV is by definition somewhat warped.

    There is so much ridiculousness going on over at the steam forums, its best to just keep the bs over there and dont drag it over to this forum instead, some people are just completely in-tolerable and just simply don't listen to what others are saying, stroking their own egos hating on a game they just simply dont understand. Its like all they see is the price, and throw an absolute fit without realizing this was originally a kickstarter project and that there ARE other packages to buy into on Ubers main store page..... Rather keep the insanity over there thanks :D
