Next-gen RTS without a save support? Are you kidding me? + poll.

It's almost impossible to find any RTS in history which doesn't have the saving possibility, beginning from the very first Command & Conquer in 1995.

Now it's 2014 and the caption on Kickstarter tells us that "Planetary Annihilation - A Next Generation RTS". Are you kidding us, seriously?

Here is the quote from Kickstarter:

"Folks at Uber Entertainment have worked on games like Total Annihilation, Command & Conquer, Supreme Commander and Demigod. We are hugely passionate about Real-Time Strategy and can’t wait to show you our vision for the future of the genre."

Is it a real future of RTS genre, where even save is not possible in single player campaign? Is it so hard to implement? We have tired from shitty console ports on PC recently, but now we have got even worse release of the "PC exclusive". Even the backers who have financed the game production on Kickstarter cannot change anything, because nobody listens to them.

Should we blame the online-only DRM which prevents game from saving because it's being played on the remote servers instead of local PCs? Previously developers were promising to make the LAN play possible, but what we have got at the release? Nothing except of online DRM.

During the Kickstarter campaign developers should have warned all the potential backers about what will be the game's state on release. That it will have online-only DRM and no save possibility, etc. I believe that not a single cent would be given to them in this case.

Honestly, developers should return all the money to the backers. Only in this case they will have the moral right to keep that online DRM without a save possibility and sell the game in its current invalid condition. It's not a next-gen RTS, it's even worse than every current-gen and past-gen strategy games.

I don't need save, total useless, i can kill ai in a moment if you need save, then this is not your game

dude it's coming, like uh ....Momentarily™

wat?
the point is not "save is useless" the point is "save is coming". Some of you people get so caught up in disagreeing you advocate some of the craziest heresies

Save comes with offline play. Currently the game is running on the Uber Servers, a structure that does not support saving.

Offline game and thus saving will come Soon*.

*That is the official ETA of the developers. Life with it, or leave it till then. Your choice.

Great, there weren't already enough clueless people whining and trying to speak on behalf of all backers.

The game-development is supposed to be continued, not matter if released or not. Saving won't be the saving you know from your old games, but an integrated feature in the chrono cam and therfore takes more time. So yes, the game will do it an a more advanced form compared to what we did for 20 years.

Yes, we are kidding you.

Please take five minutes to read the umpteen other threads on this topic scattered around the forums and refrain from posting with such provocative titles and polls in the future.

Thank you.
