That does look like fun and Introversion are cool. It's not the first prison sim for what that's worth (zilch). I'm tempted. The price seems pretty high for an alpha, £20 would be steep for the full game and what happens if the project never gets that far?
Unlike their crowdfunding that launched development, you are actually entering a purchasing agreement from a rather large corporation here... If the full version doesn't come out for whatever reason, I imagine Valve will have to refund you. |

| I thought it was cool how her outfit got worn and torn over the course of the game, but then I was disappointed when it stopped short of making her really look like classic Lara. I also got a HUGE gamer-boner when (spoiler? I guess?): her signature dual-pistols showed up. Unfortunately you only get to equip one in normal gameplay. But then you get total boner resurgence at the very end when you blast [main bad guy] in the face with both pistols. Just remember to alternate clicks, 'cause there is no dual-wielding anywhere else in the game and you might not realize you're supposed to do that for the full effect. I liked the game and all, but I'm not sure what it means if the most memorable parts were in homage to the classics... |

The more I think about it, the less sense stretch goals make.
I can see why it's popular - it encourages more and continued investment - but what happens if that million dollars isn't enough to get the core game done properly?
I'd much rather have that $100,000 spent on making sure the game is fun than on ensuring that it has seasonal weather.
That is an issue of trusting the project creator(s) to know what the hell they're doing. If you can look at the finished product and say that, even without the fancy weather or whatever else is added later, the game is not so good, then there's an issue and they will receive appropriate feedback. |

but this isn't one of those deals where a guy is walking away with something ridiculous, especially relative to what he was earning.
Get some perspective, dude. Even ignoring the fact we're dealing with millions of dollars here, any job you can work at for 5-6 years and then get 2 years of severance (which BTW, isn't that supposed to be for when you're fired without cause, not quit?) is a job that is way too good for just about anybody. Let alone a guy who apparently wasn't doing it well. |

| They should just go ahead with integrating scrambler fields into all cars, so that you can't use your phone while inside. Pull over and get your lazy ass out if you need to communicate so badly. |

The sad thing is, when Spore was released gamers served EA with at least 3 classaction lawsuits and they all won against EA because of the DRM within Spore. Why can't gamers do the same now, where the case is even more clearcut than Spore? EA would have his ass handed by the courts.
All the big corporations now put clauses in EULAs to prevent that. Or at least make it harder for you to win in court, because by playing the game you volunteered to waive your right to a class-action suit. Not saying it couldn't happen (it'd be a matter of whether EULAs are legally-binding), but it would probably weigh on the judge's decisions. |

| No, GPG has nothing to do with this. Well, I guess it's possible, but Square-Enix owns SupCom. Any new-found resources GPG have gathered elsewhere were not the reason for this patch. Would Chris Taylor get on the phone at this point, and say "Hey Squenix, we're not out of business after all, mind if we do some busy-work on our last game?" I'd think they'd have their hands full with whatever their new owners want them to do... |

| Loved this game. Yes it's bizarre, but it's one of those very rare "diamond in the rough" PC games that are far more awesome that you'd ever expect. I'll have to go back and replay it sometime what with all of these patches and content updates. |

| IIRC, the premise of the expansion was that you play Neo from the Matrix, with the standard Saints Row wackiness sprinkled liberally on top. So I think that will be a pretty major part of this sequel. |

| You're right, the term "hack" is a pejorative, and it is used deliberately here. In the same way celebrities (or anyone else, really) use it to try and shift the blame for their technological stupidity, and any number of news outlets use it incorrectly because it's more sensational than "had their email password guessed." |

It is open to everyone... who pre-orders. I doubt they'll have free access at any point.
Edit: Actually I just read on Steam about people who buy access getting 3 invites to give to other people to get into the alpha for free. My bad. |
