We might as well get something similar to Valve Time, except for Chucklefish.
Even if 1.0 is released and is actually good, Starbound does not have a chance to become as succesful as Terraria anymore. Not without some kind of divine intervention.
They dropped the ball. They had their chance when Terraria died, but did not utilize this chance properly.
I don't care if they suddenly left the Dark Side and realized their mistakes. This is an industry, not some kind of TV show wherw game developers apologize for their sins.
I remember the fact that there wasn't a long span of updates because they were moving the team, didn't want to push out a mostly-unplayable version of the game (And thus made Nightlies to show that yes, they were working on it) and eventually did deliver on a gigantic update, and have kept working on it.
And, fun fact: If you look at statistics, even after 1.3 dropped, Terraria has 12% of it's players playing. 12%. Starbound, currently, has 13% of it's player playing. besides, the games are going to be very different once starbound reaches 1.0
it might not compete with terraria, but terraria has sold a fuckton of copies and has been out far longer. you can't compare them. don't compare them. it's comparing beta terraria to finished minecraft.
[opinion]Minecraft... Now there's a game to gripe about. Months and months between updates and we usually get barely any new content to keep us interested, if any. They're usually just rehashing old systems like the rendering and terrain generation to make it hard for Mod Authors to update their mods with great content at blinding speed and cause the game to be even more buggy and slow.[/opinion]
