Starbound's steam database was just updated, with some seemingly important stuff

Discussion in 'Starbound Discussion' started by Clockwork, Nov 26, 2013.

  1. True, but it's practically free advertisement, and the amount of exposure they'll get from doing that is worth way more than the amount of money they could've charged TB and whoever else to purchase the game. From a business standpoint it would be foolish not to accept practically free press that'll cover a huge diversity of audience for you.:proper:

    Probably reviewers, near friends of the devs e.t.c
     
  3. Oh right the Youtubers that are recording content for Starbound!

    Didn't they mention they would be giving away early access to everyone at the same time?
    Don't take this as a complaint, I can't play either way, Finals Week.
    But I thought I had seen them mention that earlier.

    Yes, they will issue them to everyone, but press and them youtubers get pre-beta versions.

    But why would they upload a Pre-beta version to steam, if they need to be ready for it's release in 2 days? :p
     
  9. Aside fromt he devs, their family members and contributors.. Youtubers and streamers who go early access.

    Because:
    1. A bunch of extra testers before release = good way to hunt down some extremely troublesome bugs before the beta.
    2. Videos of letsplays of game coming out in same time with game release = extra publicity

    Number one seems kind of like cleaning the house before the maid comes.
    And I don't think they are allowing LP's until beta? Am I wrong?

    You fixed the link apparently, but all it does is lead to a steam page, nothing to do with Starbound...

    It's gotten up to a maximum of 23 so far. Of course in about a day that two-digit number will look rather small I wager.:chucklefish:
