Put the cash in a nondescript briefcase. Bring the briefcase to your nearest park. A Ludeon agent will approach you. Exchange the briefcase with a disc containing the game. Go home and play. No cops.

We're never so unprofessional. You leave the briefcase, walk halfway around the block, and find the disc under a trashcan with a chalk mark on it.

I've seen some games (Europa Universalis IV comes to mind) where the 'betas' tab lets you pick from older versions as well - that said, I have no idea how it works.

That's the way we'd have to do it, but that's a bit of a hack.

I'm certainly glad our wondrous developer has a good sense of humor, would be a much duller forum without a sense of humor from our one and only "transcendent"

What do you mean humor? That's how I got my copy of Rimworld

[oldskoolsouljaz]

I bought it anyway and It is awesome well done!! I'm glad I didn't try and wait for a steam release.  I was a bit hesitant because all the other "work in progress" games I've bought have given me a lot of problems lock ups or just not complete enough and the game doesn't work properly at all!  Very Happy that this was not the case!  I've had no problems other than pirate attacks robot attacks and trying to arrest all visitors and being attacked and getting all my colonist killed or kidnapped lol! anyway to get back a kidnapped colonist? I have one colonist left out of 5 and 1 prisoner! lol!

PS I've been recommending it to all my gaming friends lol!

Could someone explain why so many people hate paypal? I never had any issues with it so I'm curious.

[starscream]

i have nothing against paypal, but i was waiting for the steam release.  it promises release this year, but i'm not too sure on it, the steam page hasn't been updated since alpha 2

moding "native" part of game to mod assembly will allow version selection...

simply game will have mods "core_A1" "core_A2" and soo on with all native part moved to mod stored assemblyes.
this will greatly increase game size but will allow to select version.

implementing this possible by coding something like reinstrumentation classloader (class loader that able to alter byte[] of class before class is defined)

[Serrate Bloodrage]

@Dr.Z I can only answer for myself- I have enough passwords and accounts with every internet service that I need without adding extras that are on top of having stuff that already does the same thing.
However, rimworld was well worth steppibg out of my comfort zone. No regrets here. If I had the choice I would have chosen steam though

I just have to say that I'm a finicky consumer, and I have been happy purchasing this as it is.  The fact that you get the game through multiple alphas makes it even more playable for me since the game is constantly changing and bringing new life to it. 

I doubt the vast majority of people who purchase it would have any qualms with the game on Steam.
