Crowdfunding is not necessarily bad. Star Citizen did it to great success. I even suspect that Below Zero can be a success eventually too.
But I understand why people who bought it thinking that it was true early access like Minecraft, Factorio and many other similar games are mad. I had read enough about Below Zero and knew what I was getting into, but they didn't.
Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.
So, my question is... what y'all talking 'bout??
I don't think it can be any more clear than this.
Having said that, it doesn't mean one can't be disappointed with the way development is going, but you can't say "EA is not an excuse" for changing the game so much so many times, because that's exactly what EA is all about!
Two things:
1. They added that after people complained. That was not there when I purchased the game.
2. That is super unclear. It doesn't say that the game is in the early alpha stages, has 2 hours of gameplay available, no voice acting, multiple areas with placeholder objects, placeholder textures, and has multiple gamebreaking bugs. It says it may or may not change. That implies it is nearly complete.
The seatruck used to be 5 advanced wiring kits.
The complainers are mostly spoiled entitled brats that don't have the game played
for them. They did not read the warnings and expect to be treated to a completed
game. And the Devs did listen to complaints and changed the story multiple times
as you noted.
Just wrong,
We were all very confused but it makes perfect sense now.
Words have meanings. You can't re-define words based on your opinions.
Potato potato.

No, Steam added that after people complained. They actually added it 5 months before I bought Subnautica, but it doesn't change that the warning doesn't begin to address the issues here. You say "potato potato," I say, "completely not the same thing at all and a completely stupid comparison."
I'm not defending bad development practices in any way, mind you.
I'm just saying that NOW everyone is fully aware of what Early Access means, so complaining about what you're complaining at this point in time is useless and has no legal grounds.
I also disagree with your opinion on the project: in fact "stuff" happened during the development of SN:BZ (a change of writer, COVID-19) and hitting them while they're "on the ground" sounds very unfair to me.
Coops you're pretty much damage control centrale in these threads but this is the most opinionated I've seen ya, and it is overreaching quite a bit. A good bit of the "complaints" / "feedback" do have some % of merit however big or small, and you have tactfully and respectfully, in most all threads I have seen you reply to, stayed the course with great explanations. Don't let them find your any key and start pressing your buttons now.

I have to disagree with this, but I do see where you are coming from. When you are part of the process of what is EA and you see changes made where you didn't feel they were needed, or don't understand them, or etc., it is your own personal opinion and feeling invested in that and giving feedback is what this is all about. As a community we get to banter whether we agree or disagree and pillow fight all day / night, but in the end if whatever we offer strikes a chord with the devs than that is what it all about. We have to remember though a lot of the recent posts are from people who may have not been here from the get go and it can be very confusing of what exactly has transpired. Adapting to change has always been and will be a very personal/individual experience.

A lot of us that have been on this roller coaster since the beginning and have sometimes thoroughly enjoyed the ride, and other times got motion sickness along the way. I kind of have to agree with the premise with the original post in that the "this is EA stamp" to silence any post of what is thought is being done poorly is not enough and a cop out in a lot of cases. And remember a lot of posts may be from people coming into this recently and not from the beginning so there is going to be confusion about the status of the game especially since there was an original goal of completion (which is understood is no guarantee). I think a lot of us that have been invested in this from the beginning are fairly burnt out and don't want to hear anything negative and don't want any more changes made as we just want the game to finish asap and don't want any further set backs. But to go back to JA's post...this is EA and that is exactly what it is about! I can't even imagine coming into the forums new and giving input at this stage of the game. This has been such a crazy journey / experience :)
Lest we not forget:

though I believe there have been more icebergs than expected ;)
Facts are facts, regardless of your opinions.
It being inaccurate makes it irrelevant.
Yes, you are.
Apparently Unknown Worlds Entertainment doesn't.
The fact that everything I describe was before COVID-19 means that you are using a catastrophe to excuse bad practices that had nothing to do it, which is frankly disgusting.
