Which will happen after the Atari 2600 port.

What's wrong with ps3/4?

Even if it doesn't slow down development of the windows version, the second platform should have been Linux, not another crappy Micro$#!t product... :-/

I'm still waiting for the day, when great games like SE start to appear on Linux and i can finally uninstall windows from my PC for good...

According to Marek (The Great Leader) the Xbox technology is close to PC, so it was a logical choice.

The next what I am about to say is not from Marek's mouth and is just my educated guess, but I have a feeling companies get better deals (decreased devkit prices for example) if they make the game an exclusive to that platform. If this is the case then Xbox would indeed be the most logical choice.

they already got a contract with Microsoft so you gotta wait a year till it COULD (not will) come out for the play station

I hope you all realize that with it being ported to the xbox one that there most likely won't be any pc and xbox one players playing in the same server with workshop mods. steam and microsoft would have to be buddies but why should steam go to the xbox one to if their working on their own os?

with the workshop on xbox one steam and microsoft would have to get along. Keen doesn't have much voice in this area because on pc they are using STEAM's workshop not microsoft's or their own.

I don't get why people think programming will now be killed. People should actually read Marek's blog post (which was linked to)! He specifically says programming and modding won't be affected!

Goodbye programmable block. Because, I think there is no chance it will ever came out on consoles (programming with gamepad? SRSLY?). And don't tell me there will be two different versions of game, with programmable block on PC's and one without it on consoles. It's more like dev's will just cut out this feature, because it not fits with console gameplay.

Ehh...

"If we won't find a way how to do modding on Xbox One, why would we remove this feature from the PC version? And the same applies to programmable modules and tons of other things."

Marek used the word "I doubt" when talking about dumbing down, and he used the words "why would we remove this feature". This means that dumbing down is not planned (good enough for me)

You really can't use this quote and say that PC version can have (future) features that are not in the console version. Note the word "remove". Now what Marek said is that they will not remove features that are already in the PC version. This means that PC version will have modding support. Programming is not in the game yet, so technically if we don't get it, it never got removed because it wasn't there in the first place.

It's all about semantics and choice of words.

I'm done paying for these half ass developers to put their crap on consoles and leave us in the dark. They say they won't stop updating this game, but I doubt it.

Mixed feelings here.

Especially since crowd funding projects shouldn't take money from big publishers (see what had happened to Oculus Rift). They lose their independence and therefore their soul.
