Due to the recent "q&a" it has been revealed that the developers do not plan on fixing the game or listening to the community; most of the recent updates have been half-assed, game-breaking, and generally made the game unplayable. During this "q&a," multiple contradictions were made, which shows that the developers are only really "updating" in order to make it seem like it's playable, and they still support it. However, if you've played it before, even before the space dlc came out, you'll realize that it's only gone downhill. However, this game was alright when the weapons DLC came out, but a bit after that, it went downhill, and it's become an unplayable, buggy mess. It's about as bad as when it was in early access; it's early access was buggy, but the full release didn't change much, if anything. Playing with friends is almost impossible due to the lag, desynch, and overall very poor optimization of the game. I like how advanced and detailed you can get, but you need an advanced understanding of Lua to make anything. Mind you, in this recent so-called "q&a," they've said they don't want to fix certain bugs because it'll break players creations. The Q&A has basically said we don't want to work on this anymore. They don't want to add new blocks to a building game. And major updates are going to become smaller, they said. Meaning major updates aren't going to be major anymore. The most recent one added two blocks, a fishing rod, and a vacuum. That's it. That's all, nothing more. I would recommend against buying. They won't listen to you, and they won't fix the game. EDIT: The reason I have so many hours is due to the builder being decent, it isnt super complex that youd have to have an engineering degree to do anything, and finally due to the multiplayer. The multiplayer was what made it fun, however the multiplayer has degraded to such a point its unplayable, and due to my understanding of the q&a and even the recent update, the devs dont plan on fixing it.

TLDR: Don't buy; developers are abandoning their game, making excuses that contradict themselves, and it's buggy as hell to the point where it's unplayable; they are even lying in a pre-recorded stream.

I would say the devs are the big problem, sorry but they are stupid and are just money milking.

It's 10000 hours of dedicated practice with intent to master btw, not "just do it for 10000 hours lol"

Plus games change, bad update can ruin things so hours in the past doesn't matter much.

Yea I would recommend against it use that money to buy other games such as space engineers, from the depths, or starship evo.
