4) Take 2 is making huge layoffs in Intercept Games:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-01/take-two-interactive-shuts-down-two-game-studios?srnd=homepage-americas

Seattle-based Intercept Games, maker of the space flight simulation game Kerbal Space Program 2, according to a notice filed with the Washington State Employment Security Department Monday. The notice revealed that Take-Two plans to close an office in Seattle and cut 70 jobs, or roughly the number of people who worked for Intercept Games.

5) As of May 1, 2024, Intercept Games was shut down. Don't expect ANY further updates for this game: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/take-two-reportedly-shuts-down-roll7-and-intercept-games-private-division-suffers-mass-layoffs

Take 2 still owns the IP for this game which is why it's still being sold. They want to recover as much $$ as possible. So if you buy this, understand it will NEVER get another patch.

You are a bit late to the party.

The real question is: is there sufficient game play available without too many bugs to make it worth it. All the angst is understandable, but there's plenty in there for hours of game play. And anyone paying any attention at all already knows everything you posted, plus the sale of the IP.

^ Not only are you a bit late to the party on the shutdown, you are also late to the party on Private Division being sold off. Take Two has already sold Private Division including the IPs under them such as KSP/KSP2, OlliOlli, Tales of the Shire, etc. So no Take Two does not still own the IP for this game. It was sold along with Private Division to an as-of-yet unnamed entity. Take Two only kept one of the games that was being developed under Private Division; No rest for the wicked.

While I personally won't put much faith in this ever being completed, it at least has a higher possibility of future updates now that Private Division has been sold.

^ yeah like 1000 times more likely.

now there is like a 0.00001 % chance instead of 0.00000001 %

In my region the game still sells for 50€.
Do you really suggest the game content is worth that amount of money?

For some people there might be. Why should you decide that for them?

There's a lot of people on these forums who don't know this which is why i posted it. I don't need a snarky reply.

Why should n.r.tasz?
Do you own the game outside of steam?
Just buy it and make the experience yourself.

n.r.tasz's comment sounded like a buy recommendation.
Selling the narrative that the bad rating is more a form of review bombing than honest reviewing.

I think people should be warned to not buy the title.

Your information isn't even up to date.
Like PopinFRESH already pointed out.

Also I doubt that anyone on this forum does not know about it.
Since we talk about nothing else since months.

Well i saw plenty of comments from people who didn't know. So you can just go away now or get blocked. Edit: I blocked you anyway because you are just annoying.

Feel free to block me, I don't care.
But you should at least correct your initial post and bring it up to date.

I took your reply as in the notion of you saying the game should be delisted; not as in "people should be warned". If that is not your stance then again anyone paying attention would know the state of things. It is obvious already from the hundreds of threads just like this one; and the abysmal review rating. I think people have been warned already.

n.r.tasz was saying there was enough content for them to be satisfied that they were able to enjoy enough hours of gameplay from it. I'd still personally disagree but I'm not trying to say other people shouldn't be able to buy something that they might enjoy.
