    The price for this upgrade will be… free. We don’t believe paying for a technical upgrade is reasonable.

    Not sure if throwing shade here is intentional or not. :P

      To be fair, they also don’t put their game on discount, so there is an obligation to keep it up to date.

          It not exactly, but it does feel like it should be related… maybe if you are paying full price regardless and there’s never a sale or reduction in price then the implication is the game is remaining at full support and compatibility indefinitely too?

          I wonder if they will eventually reduce the price once they stop supporting the game fully

            What kind of indefinite support do you expect? It’s mostly a single-player game. Multiplayer is peer-to-peer. Once all bugs are fixed, the game is done.

            If hardware and software advance to the point that the game no longer runs, a discount won’t help with that either.

              Windows changes slowly rot old games, even if an old game still runs you slowly have to jump through more hoops to run it.

                  Very good thing, but doesn’t help anyone who bought the game on windows.

                  And realistically Mac will break much quicker, and Linux will probably break too. Switch I agree should be solid, you don’t mess with console apis.

      I’ve found a few bugs and missing features in Space Age. I’m hoping 2.1 will fix most of them.

      Normally I wouldn’t even notice these issues, but the ludicrously high quality of the base game has shifted my perspective.

        Yeah, the base game shows it really has 8 years of polish to it. Space age is great, but isn’t 8 year polished. It’s like the difference between 99% and 98%.

      In short, its going to be quite a while, I can promise it won’t be ready this year…

      Yay! I still have time to use my legendary asteroid casino before that gets nerfed.
