Its a good thing , now we can creat our own update like bug fix or new aliens/marine upgrade , balance or nerf

Well that's what we call 'Natural Selection' (ok this was a bad one)

This isn't a bad thing. They gave the reigns to some very good programmers that have already been responsibe for a lot of changes in previous patches. Unknownworlds can't stay on this game forever.

The biggest issue I have is the game's CPU requirements are far too high, but it looks like it might not be possible to fix based on the amount of patches that have been thrown into the game.

Isn't less than two years a little...short?

Granted, this isn't as bad as EA (let's kill games within months of releasing them!), but I kind of expect them to be there for a while.

its been more than 2 years, been in beta/alpha for a really really long time lol

But the official release date for public was November 2012. That's not even 2 years of public release.

Again, the public release was in November 2012.

You were always able to buy the game early from their website and play the pre-release builds. November 2012 was the Steam release.

Though I may be remembering incorrectly.

Comunity will demand Free 2 Play update like StarCraft2 Starter Edition >> play Marine only wohohoho :))

The thing here is though, since Half-Life 2 came out they have been working on the game.
Since 2004 they worked on the Source version, scrapped it, spent YEARS making their own engine, then about 3-4 more getting the game to work.

After release they released a BUNCH of free content and spent lots of time trying to make it better while slowly losing money.

Why can't we just agree that after about 6 years they need a break to go do something else?
If I was developing a game for 10 years (it is actually 10, I said 6 because the alpha was in 2008), I would go completely mad, and i'm sure lots of people here would agree.

It doesn't really matter if it's after release now.
The fact still remains that they spent far too long on this game.
Instead of letting it die like most devs, they are actually letting the more capable people of the community take over.

Uhm.. alpha was released 2010...

Eitherway.. I was right after all these years, with UWE leeching of community.
