Yes, but it will be at a deep discount, not exactly something he can boast about at the upcoming earnings call. Investors want it here and now, not see revenue trickling in 10 years later from a 80% off.

I may come around. First they need to release a complete game.
All we have now is a skeleton.

[Raven Ranks]

I'll come around when it's $5.

[RedLabel]

He's right, I'll buy the Complete Edition at 90% off for $5.

Presumably the same guy who said "screw Kerbal Space Program 2 players who we, despite having boat loads of cash, decided to charge for early access. We'll just not bother finishing the game afterall and shut down the studio". I guess Take Two needs to go on my lifetime boycott list now :(

[Drusain]

I have no clue why it took 4 paragraphs to name the CEO, and use the headline as "2K Boss." That's absolutely nuts.

No we wont lol, all of my friends are waiting for this un-finished, beautiful mess to go on sale.

Take2 CEO (Strauss Zelnick):

"'legacy Civ audience' will come around the more they play"

“So we feel really, really good about it. We know we have a couple of issues. We have a bit of an issue with the UI, for example. We'll address that. So I wouldn't say the early access release is perfect in every way. I think it's very, very encouraging and I think the areas that are concerning are areas that we can and will address, and as you can tell, we're quite mindful of them.”

The CEO called it early access, they sold it as a full release. LOL

[gromenawer]

He is coping harder than the players that felt for this scam and are still defending the map generation lmao

They guy most likely never smashed that next turn button, so everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

Even the term "Legacy players" says a lot. Oh yeah the legacy players will come on board eventually, but we're not really interested in them. We want exciting new customers.
