>Can the game be considered a full release? No, for all intents and purposes, KSP should be considered still in early access state. The game is nowhere near being able to stand on its own legs both from a gameplay perspective (career mode is definitely not ready and balanced) and a stability perspective. There are still major bugs and memory leaks that shouldn't exist on a finished game.
>Are there big issues with the game? Bugs and instability are still real and frequent problems, as with every product still in beta. Ask in thread for details.
>What are the devs doing? Modified versions of popular mods are being included in the stock game while the game engine is being upgraded to its latest version. The next major update (1.1) is supposedly going to bring a complete overhaul of the GUI, be 64bit friendly, have a refined physics/heating/aero model and generally perform better. An external team with heavily questionable experience (Flying Tiger Entertainment) is being tasked with porting the game to PS4, XboxOne and Wii U. They seem to be rushing for an imminent deadline and they are also working on a version of the game that will be obsolete in a few weeks/months.
>Should I buy the game? KSP is very enjoyable at first, then it usually needs to be modded to retain some sort of longevity, but doing so may dramatically increase the instability of the game. You will be very familiar with the word "Oops!". The Developers, Squad, have shown many times that they can't handle the project and are trying to squeeze all the money they can with the least amount of effort and with controversial PR tactics. The general consensus at /kspg/ is that you should torrent the game, not because the game itself is unplayable, but because most of us agree that Squad does not deserve your money.

tell me about the True Paradigm
is it real?
Leo Wright
First we need to establish what the false paradigm is.
In 2013, Maxmaps took the wheel, pretending to be a marketer / CM / dev to the fanbase, when in reality he was placed in charge of making sure the final product did not scale beyond the $5mil of our money Adrian and Ezequiel were actually allowing to be spent on the development of KSP.
So, with the cancelling of resources and DLCgate, we saw the future drastically narrow down to a point. This shift was embodied by Maxmaps' continually repeated statement that "sandbox is scope complete" -- we must deconstruct this statement to fully understand the multifaceted meanings. This will take time.
What is important is that in this moment a paradigm was created. A paradigm that suggested "sandbox" was a complete iteration of the game and therefore a major milestone. When in fact it was an arbitrary and artificial line in the sand designed to limit expenditure so that the majority of the invested money could be fraudulently embezzled.
By "moving on" to career mode, they created a false equivalency suggesting career and sandbox were two facets of an overall thing. When they failed to deliver career in a timely manner, science mode was added. Another one of Max's failed promises leading to a compromised feature in the game.
After resourcegate and the declaration that Sandbox was "scope complete," we saw all development begin to pace itself based on business deals rather than development capacity. Every update after this took 6 months, and failures to move the NASA deal along quickly enough led to completely mutilating .23 through .24, which would have been fantastic updates chock full of content if half the content didn’t need to be removed to satisfy an NDA.
And then of course, begins the true Max regime of .25 on.
This is how the false paradigm came to be. (1/2)
Jordan Lewis
I'll eat my shoe if there's a squadcast today.
Kevin Edwards
Ending the false paradigm means returning to the mindset of 2013, reopening Sandbox’s scope, and, if the fanbase cares enough, scrapping and redoing career.
I would recommmend Squad "reopen" Sandbox mode and focus on a “campaign mode” next — this was the path they should have taken originally, then used the mechanics from the campaign mode to build it out into a career mode. But instead, Max set his sights on “reputation and funds” and ruined everything about the game so he could say he added a business simulator to it and saved $145 mil for the co-owners of squad to spend on Record Labels and Movie Studios and hookers and drugs. (2/2)

Easy there schizo. We don't know if they're skipping again yet.

WE ARE LITERALLY DAYS AWAY FROM THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL COLLAPSE OF SQUAD AND POSSIBLE DEATH OF KSP
DO NOT LET FEAR OR DESPAIR CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS
FACE OUR FATE WITH OPEN ARMS AND REMEMBER THAT ABANDONWARE KSP IS BETTER THAN THE PAST THREE YEARS
REMEMBER IT'S ONLY ONCE WE'VE LOST EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE FREE TO DO ANYTHING

For the record, Squad's been falling apart since 1.0 and we're all on the verge of quitting together. It's not related to PD as much as just being done with the way the company's run. Adrian and Ezequiel don't really pay badly, but they run a fucking horrible show.

If we can solve the problem of the euros letting the thread die 2016 will officially be a great year.
Oliver Hughes
Is Felipe still alive? Squad seems like the type that would kill him, stuff his corpse and pretend he's alive just to keep collecting cash on him.
So the subreddit mods are in full fuhrerbunker mode. Anyone who asks if this is an appropriate topic for the subreddit is told "yes" yet they remove every submission related to it for some minutiae.
They had a chance to rejoin the community. It's truly too bad, I hate to see people who care get roped in with the people who manipulate the people who care.
Oh well, not everyone can be saved.

WOAH GUYS WE ARE LIVING IN THE FUTURE THREAD
spacex is launching 10 more falcons this year and a falcon heavy
that means they will get reusability down yes or yes
resuability will bring down costs of spaceflight by 100
that means that from the year after this on everything space related will be 100 cheaper
cool side effect: nasa with the same current budget can do 100 moon landings during the next years (probably more since apollo missions were innefficient, if you do them efficiently you can at least do x2 maybe even x5 or x10, so lets say 200)
but another thing
le ebin space mining is suddenly ultra profitable
cue to platinum becoming ultra abundant on earth, since in space we have it in close to infinite quantities related to the earth size (we could practically build a couple hundreds earth of pure platinum) that means platinum on earth willb ecome as plentiful as silicon
that means that suddenly ultra efficient futuristic car batteries will be all around
cue to end of oil society
so that means that now most machines will work with between 70 to 95% energy efficiency
and thats just in the first 10 years of the great space revolution of th emind, what more could come of it
i personally think that most sci fi failed to imagine the change would be so quick and disruptive.
after all this is done, how do you think the great change will continue?
