    Then, when i've forgotten about it I see youtubers claiming the game is dead, then I go to its steam page and the reviews are mostly negative.

      I copped the game for free just before it WAS taken off steam. I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit aside from the occasional bug that I personally experienced. But any serious issues were fixed with a simple restart. I wish the game had been able to continue development as this is such a good idea and I really enjoyed it. Thankfully the Hellion Rescue Project is planning to fix a lot of the issues and even update the game themselves.

      It will be funny (or not) if CIG have the courage of one day, say X is unfixable due to spaggetticode. But it probably will never be release officially so that the real cash shop stays up with ship for hundreds or thousand of dollars while keeping the "it's still a beta" excuse forever.

The game is being trashed for being a ‘flagship status’ product which was released way too early and the developers were aware of this, since they have not fixed the issues or content they promised since the start, and since they turned to even more buyable content updates (even outside of cosmetic updates) I’m wondering if I’ll ever spend my hard earned money on a bethesda game again.

      @@Skyhunter826 When you take a look on how much time it takes for regular fully developed AAA studio to produce their flag-type game you will notice Star Citizen development doesnt really take that much time, especially considering the scope of it ;) GTA V took like 10 years or so and rockstar was already big back when they started. Other thing is regular games are not revealed till some state of development or until finished, and what is even more important you won't hear of any bugs and problems of a development process of a game that is not on early access so you may get the impression that Star Citizen is somehow worse or "full of bugs", it is but it is early access game and every game in it's state would be stuffed with issues, but you just won't hear about them from a studio that is not obligated to tell you ;) Worth mentioning is that optimization usually takes place after certain crucial game modules are finished.

    That was cool to see my gameplay featuring this video. My experience with the Hellion was rather positive, especially when the devs added single player mode `cause multiplayer was literally unplayable with all the bugs it used to have. But i agree with BigfryTV`s message that the front page of the game in Steam has to be changed as it is misleading people who just surfing the Steam store and know nothing about the case. By "misleading" i mean that nearly 60% of the game features listed are still marked as "in development". That`s a shame.

    The issue here is that if hellion should be removed from steam, then you need to go have a look at After Reset, a tech demo that has been on steam for a very long time with a 30 quid price tag, with no obvious development going on (barring a developer decision to drop the price to 14.99 for the sale). At the very least, hellion is a game that you can play and enjoy to a certain degree.

    I agree, it might not have been intentional and they had a serious lack of skills to tackle the issues the fact is, as you said, way to early in early access and the way they decided to react to the situation. The proper way would have been to do what the documentation recommends under "What happens if I don't complete my game?" and contact STEAM. If they don't make profit anyway, they could just pull the game and close the servers with a 6 month notice to fans or similar.
    Developers never seem to read the documentation STEAM gives them and if they do they just ignore the guidelines and think they know better.

They're scared and they know they won't be able to match SC, hence moving onto other projects. Change my mind

    Early access is so hard to judge. This is one of a number of games that just failed and fell far short of what was promised. At the same time, look at The Isle, a game that looked so bad at first, that was buggy beyond belief. Now it is a wonderful game, with a great dev team. Its even getting a full recode to fix the issues they cant with their current system.

    Thank you for doing this video Big, i bought 2 licenses of this game to support the development, i got a lot of drama from some moderators for giving them feedback, i got banned from their discord server for saying "murica" in the context that i was joking around with a friend in their server, and a moderator said it was racism, and just banned me without giving me any second to talk about it.
    I was part of the so called "Test Squad", i invested myself into this game, tried to help out, and then, they decided to end the community "test squad" internalizing the test team, basically silencing the feedback from the community, they are shady.
    I agree that the game should not be set as "complete" it is a total lie and bullshit. They deserve the bad rep they are getting and i think it is not enough.
    In the steam discussion board there's a lot of people defending them saying we should CHILL because we got what we paid for, and we should not say the are scum.
    Hey i am super ok with people wanting to hand down money to these guys, but i have the right to complain, since i paid for the game. No one has the right to silence backlash, if you think it's all good for you, nice, go live your life, let the ones that do not agree with you, lash out.

    Fair arguments. I bought Hellion, I'm actually still playing it. I think it sucks they can't complete it. Do I feel I lost my money?
    I put 43 enjoyable hours into the game. Bought it for 22 euros.
    A simplistic method I use is that I rate how satisfied about a game by dividing the money by the amount of hours played if that number is above 1 then I'm not happy about my purchase.
    that's 0.511 for Hellion. (Kerbal space program was really good at 0.05 probably even lower because I've spent ages playing it before it even got to steam early access) Subnautica was somewhere in between. Those games made it in part because of early access.
    So in short... No... I didn't waste my money.. I'd still spend the money knowing what I know now.
    It's early access. You know you're playing an incomplete game, a game that you risk will never be completed. The upside is that you're investing in the dreams of game-devs. I was part of the hellion experience. I enjoyed the game, and still do. And the few euros won't break my bank.
    You win some you lose some.
    They should however clearly indicate the status of the game as no longer under production on the store page. Not doing so is unethical. I understand the issues they probably have with lost revenue for a company that is small and struggling. But that's no excuse to mislead your customers. I have recommended against buying the game on steam for this reason.

    Hellion developers are a bunch of guys from Belgrade, Serbia, who were essentially given a ton of money to make this game. Serbs being Serbs, they ended up squandering most of it on overpriced computers and an overpriced workspace equipped with things like massage chairs, gym, beds, etc., George Romero-style. The management essentially heavily mismanaged the funds the company had, which is why the company went down the drain and the project was released like this.

    Right on point BigFry. IMHO I would like to see a dark area of Steam where the dead games go. It’s practically a niche at this point. Price games low enough to cover the cost of memory on Steam servers ($1?), and release the source code so each game’s community can continue dev if they do so wish. That way the consumer knows they are in no mans land. I would pay $1 for a good laugh. I got in early on when they first released, as I do for ALOT of EA games - $15 is my limit. I guess it’s a form of gambling for me. I consider the $ potentially gone, and I’m not heart broken if it goes under & I win when the game takes off, as I got it at a discount.

    I wouldn't say you've been to harsh. There's so many games I have wanted to buy early on, but won't until it's further along. I got Tarkov, but in its current state, it's at least pretty good. It more or less feels like a finished game. I have Session and Skater XL, and both of those need some more work. But they're still pretty playable. If any of those games were more or less abandoned, I would be a little upset, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
    But if a game is just more or less broken, and I'm just left with that, then I'm going to be pissed. And it's why I rarely ever get an early access game. Or it's why I never really even pre-order games. I'll wait to see what kind of state a game can be brought out in before giving them my money.

    Kickstarter and crowd funded games have made game dev think they could do the most crazy game they ever imagine with a limited team and budget and good faith. But when you take star citizen that even if graphics and animation are way better to do the same type of gameplay you need the same type of tech. Thats also why star citizen was thinking they could make the game for 65 millions but after 8 years of devellopement and almost 1/3 of a billion they are still in alpha and they still need to devellop some core tech to make that idea of all those game mechanics work togheter and that why they will still need more money and time to finish it or try to finish it. Identity RPG the game that wqs supposed to be GTA online on steroids with much more mechanics and immersions well a team of 5 ppls in their basement and 1 million dollar they tought they would be able to beat a studio who have at least 1000 employee and an aproximation of 250 million buck for a game.

New ideas and people that live and breath mods have events that prize money for do this as in, here is the ablity to mod the game make a build with ship to ship docking, or ship modification.
