    Wanna bet money that EQN will just be used as cashcow to fund their next big project and will rapidly stop being supported?

    Nahh.

    It looks pretty cool and I for one think it will be moderately successful.

    EDIT:

    Also EQN is coming to PS4.

    Its actually a multi-tiered problem
    1. Indie games survive by Social Media advertisements as they can't pay for the big advertisement dollars. With that said they need to use social media to by chance get more people interested in following them. So for one thing posting on other sites gives inadvertent pr.

    2. Is a highly unskilled PR officer. A person "claiming" to know PR but only knows social media. Another words they do not and are not aware of how to treat the people who are already part of the community. In their minds

    "I am a social Butterfly everyone should just follow me and I will tell them stuff!"

    That isn't a PR officer that is a 10 yr old Justin Beiber fan. I wouldn't be too shocked to see posts in the future going.
    "If you follow me, ill follow you!"

    Blargh, not sure how well that will turn out. Everquest and it's hotkeys and such have always been designed around PC. Nothing against consoles, it's just the whole fewer input buttons on a controller than a KB+M. Especially when you use a mouse like a Naga Razer.

    Depends on how its mapped.

    Also I do hope the terrain destruction lives to its potential.

    I doubt it, you can only have so much terrain destruction before weird things start to happen. The issue with mapping to a controller is that you have a lot less flexibility and that leaves little room for error.
     

  9. Is it bad that they lean on the moderators to help disseminate the message? I know everyone wants to hear the message straight from the horses mouth.

    I will say that if they're going to use twitter and the twitter feed as kind of their gateway for dynamic news feeds, it's way easier to tweet from anywhere but a concrete building or the middle of nowhere, they need to make the feed more visible on the main page.

    Maybe a twitter feed for each dev's twitter account + the starbound twitter account. Band's I used to follow back when myspace was cool would do that, and I thought it was a pretty good way to know when things were going on. Slap that on the main page, and people really can't complain.

    still wouldent see it. i block all social media widgets. being datamined is tolerable under no circumstances.

    twitter should mirror the mainpage, not the other way 'round.

    I think chrome has apps that disable the cookies they put on you.

    Too bad Chrome, like anything made by Google, spies on you whenever it's used.

    I don't care how they disseminate the message. It could be via Them selves / Mod / Fan
    There should never be a time lag in the dissemination of the message to the forums

    In other words all messages should originate from the website.
    For example there were a few updates change logs which came maybe 2 - 3 updates back. They were posted on reddit then 24 - 36 hours later they came posted on the main forums.

    Like I mentioned before about the starrybound inncident. That NEVER made it to the forums.
    No its pretty much time to find a new PRO.

    Right our friend D-16 is your typical lurker which all public forums should have.

    I pick the lesser (idk) evil here. I just really don't like facebook site plugins that track you.

    I had to search up starrybound after I saw the few forum redditors talking about it.

  20. Albeit Chucklefish needs to integrate twitter into their main page better if they're going to use it more often, the devs are into using social media. You don't even have to have a twitter account to see their news feeds. If you block one of their main avenues of dynamically giving you news though, you're kind of plugging up the hole and then asking why the waterworks stopped sending you water.
