    Expecting to play product you are expected to pay for = hyperbole.

    I'm learning so much.

    Expecting an alpha product to work well = silly

    Bitching when alpha product doesn't work well = entitlement.

    And yet I've stated I don't expect it to be bug free. Its almost like you have an inability to read.

    I didn't say you did.

    I'm being accused of entitlement for wishing a developer would do basic internal testing of his code before releasing it, and work towards fixing a game that I have paid for, that I have been unable to play for months.

    Both the claims here are questionable at best. You don't know the process. You don't know what is causing the bug. You don't know what will fix the bug. Yet you're still comfortable drawing all sorts of conclusions based on your limited knowledge.

    You paid for access to alpha testing and you got access to alpha testing. Plenty of people can play the game. I in fact put the down first level of my creep farming tower last night.

    Get over it.

    So you're allowed to do tiny things in the game, but those of us building impressive structures aren't allowed to talk about the issues plaguing the game and the work ethic of the developer. Also I do know what I'm claiming is true. When you release a patch that for 100% of people will cause a crash on the initial loading screen it is obvious you never tried loading it. Either that or you did try loading it and didn't care that it would crash immediately. Neither of these are a good option of any programmer.

    100% of the people crash on the initial loading screen? Man you guys should come over to my place it sounds like I have the only working copy of minecraft in existence.

    And your cruel words regarding my tower are cruel. I find it to be a very impressive piece of engineering for a solo game.

    Short films (apt, like a penis after a Fockers movie) they show before the main movie? Something like that. I was alluding to the idea we have shit porn short films in cinemas before the usual Hollywood stuff, but nooo...

    Relax man, let it go, if it helps to smooth things over, and in the xmas spirit, you guys are totally right about minecraft and I am totally wrong. Now can we please go back to talking about whether eating the placenta constitutes cannabalism?

    I am relaxed, at what point do you think I actually invested in this conversation? Maybe you should relax, toke up or something.

    I mean this sentence says one thing, but your past couple pages of posts seem to say the exact opposite. I guess how dare someone disagree with your opinion on the net.

    Well. I tried the olive branch, before this whole thing turns into a giant infraction fest, I guess I'll simply have to buzz off for awhile.

    Yeah, it's like that. Exactly like that. But! In our little movie sneak peek extravaganza (every Wednesday) they just show two trailers, then it's movie time. No commercials, which is very refreshing. But now and then you have to sit through movies much, much worse than the latest Ben Stiller vehicle.

    No I'm using that as an example to show a larger issue at hand. That the programmer does zero testing. And no we're not there to do basic testing, we're there to do the intensive testing.

    Other aspects of the game are broken, which have prevented me from playing said game for months now.

    See that would be a good thing, much like legal abortion if we just allowed men to force women to kill their children it would save the cost of repairing so many stair wells, though god knows the coat hanger industry would take a major hit.

    Agreed.

    Not much else to say about it. I know in the case of my conception, my mom was believed to be infertile, and my dad didn't want another kid. He was all "abortion?" she was all "nah", and then a year after I was born, and they were divorced, never saw him again or received a cent. Guy figured if he wasn't in his child's life, he shouldn't have to pay.

    And honestly, I have no objection to that whatsoever. When you don't provide for your child, or maintain a presence in their life, you're no longer a parent to them, and should no longer be subject to the costs and benefits attached to that title.

    Termination is a contract term which is what the procedure really is, abandonment is already a legal concept, but not exactly something you legistlate with both parties.
